Good Times @ EPE

Dear Families,

We hope that this email finds everyone well. We are so fortunate to have had such an amazing few weeks weather wise, and the students have been able to take part in activity days, field trips, and all kinds of other adventures. it really is the best time to be a kid!

On sunny days, we encourage our students to wear a cap, sunglasses, and if they wish to put on sunscreen they can (we recommend bringing scent free cream type sunscreen due to scent allergies in the building). Please be aware that it would be logistically impossible for our educators to apply the sunscreen, and we would ask that if you are sending it in, that you take the time to practice how to apply with your students. Water bottles are also important at this time of year to ensure that we all stay hydrated!

Have a great week

As e-scooters become more popular in our community, it's important to keep our students safe! Please remind your children that e-scooters are not toys—they are motorized vehicles and should be used responsibly. Helmets are a must, and riders should stick to sidewalks or bike lanes where allowed, always watch for traffic, and never ride with a passenger. Let's work together to ensure our kids stay safe while scooting smart!

We are so excited to have our Family Day on Friday June 13th. This is a day on which we celebrate our diverse family makeup. See our poster below for one of our fun activities!
