ECC Parents and Guardians,

It's hard to believe that it is already March! Please see the dates below for upcoming events. Spring is such a fun time at ECC, with lots of activities.

February was such a busy month at ECC! The Sweetheart Ball is our favorite event at ECC! We truly enjoy seeing all of our students dressed up with their special someone at the Sweetheart Ball!

As road work continues on Highway 16, please continue to be patient and kind during this road construction. As we get updates, we will keep you informed through FB, phone calls, and skyward emails.

Thank you PTP!

We want to extend a huge THANK YOU for your incredible support in decorating for the Sweetheart Ball and assisting with the Book Fair. Your time and effort made both events extra special for our students and families. We truly appreciate all you do to make our school a wonderful place for learning and fun!!

🔅🔅🔅With the beautiful upcoming weather, we wanted to remind parents about our lunch times. ECC loves having lunch visitors! See below for the times and lunch procedures.🥪🥪🥪

Lunch Deliveries

We do not accept deliveries for students from DoorDash, Chick-fil-a, Flower Shops, etc.

Parents or Guardians can drop off food in the office and the office staff will make sure it gets to your student for their lunch.

The map below, shows you where to enter ECC. All cars and buses enter the West entrance.

If you are walking your child inside, you will still enter the West entrance, park in the parking lot and walk your student to the foyer.

If you are dropping your child off in the car line, the officer will direct the flow of traffic. The car line can seem a bit slow at first, please be patient and kind as we all learn the car and bus line procedures.

For car line dismissal, enter the West entrance. Please have your car tag placed in your front windshield or hanging from a hanger on your rear-view mirror. This allows our staff to easily see your car tag. As the staff member is calling cars, another staff member is typing names, while teachers are lining students up in the cafeteria. It is a very systematic process. Please avoid jumping into a short line because this does cause a delay in our dismissal process. Watch the video below, to see how the morning routine is different from the afternoon pick-up procedure.

If you would like to apply for reduced or free lunch, complete the form below. Keep in mind that breakfast is free to all reduced students this upcoming school year. Breakfast is served beginning at 7:25 each morning. We ask that if your child needs breakfast, to please be at school by 7:45. This gives students time to eat breakfast before announcements.

Please remember visitors are not permitted to walk the halls or be in classrooms without permission. This is for the safety of all of our students. If you are leaving the cafeteria from lunch, please go straight to the office using the hallway closest to the cafeteria.

Breakfast $2.50

Student lunch $ 3.25

Visiting adult lunch$ 4.50

Always double check the YAG, dates are subject to change.

If you are interested in your child attending Mentoring Alliance the contact info. is below. It is the parents responsibility to contact the bus barn, then the office at ECC 903-881-4400.
