Dear Erickson Families,

If you do not plan on returning to Erickson for the 24-25 school year, please let the office know as soon as you know. Thank you!
MAP Reports will be going home today or tomorrow along with the school supply list. Check backpacks!
Progress Reports will be available in OTUS on Wednesday, June 5th. We will also email a copy of the report card. All families will also receive an email letter with your child(ren)'s 2023-2024 attendance record.
BUS TRANSPORTATION for the 2024-2025 School Year: Families are automatically routed on a bus if you live 1.5 miles or further from the school . If you would like to DECLINE BUS TRANSPORTATION, please click on this DECLINE BUS FORM so your child(ren) are not routed on the bus for the 24-25 school year (you would then be dropping them off/picking them up daily).

Tomorrow is Field Day, Friday, May 31st. The PTO will provide a hot dog to all full day students. If a rain date is called, the rescheduled date is Monday, June 3. Students will still have the hotdog on May 31st. A snack, Goldfish, and popsicles (Popsicle Brand: Bomb Pops or similiar to this type) will be provided for each student on Field Day. Parents should still pack additional lunch items to ensure students are nourished after a morning of playing outside. Parents with concerns about food allergies should have their children bring their own lunch and snack. Please remember to pack:
- A refillable water bottle
- Sunblock, hat/visor
Families are welcome to stop by during the outside events on Field Day between 9:00-11:40 and 1:00-3:00. If you do decide to stop by, you will need to have an ID BADGE guest pass to be on school grounds. Click here to have a pre-printed ID BADGE ready for you on Field Day. Please stop by the school Lobby to pick up your badge. You will need your driver's license if you have never been scanned into our system before. This is for safety and to ensure all visitors are approved to be on school grounds.
