Hello ESS Families!

Due to low participation, we are postponing the Popcorn Fundraiser that was set to begin tomorrow to now begin on April 3rd.

The fundraiser will run from April 3rd – April 6th. We will send an updated flyer soon and reminders along the way for you to sign up and invite others to order through the Double Good App

VIP&Me-March 14

In person registration will begin on February 3rd for all students who are eligible to attend Kindergarten next year. Please see the district website for updated forms to fill out. You will need to contact the Main Office (203-929-1330) to set up a registration appointment. Your child DOES NOT need to attend registration with you.

Those students who are not 5 by September 1st will have to fill out a waiver in order to be considered for registration. That link will be on the district website prior to February 3rd.

Current News-

I hope you had a good week.

We had a great week with Read Across America Week. Next Monday begins our March Reading Madness Tournament where students will listen to read alouds and then vote on their favorite. The grand champion will be announced at the end of the month!

Have a nice weekend-Mrs Weber

Old News-

Getting outside for recess has been great. Students who wear footwear without a back strap on like Crocs or UGG slippers need to have a change of shoes or else they will have to sit out during outdoor recess. Sneakers are the safest choice.

Currently the last day of school is scheduled for Tuesday June 10th

Please be sure your child is fever-free WITHOUT any medicine for a full 24 hours before coming back to school

It was nice to get some fresh air for a few days this week at recess when it wasn't so windy. Just a reminder to have your child bring hats/gloves

Please be sure you are aware of what websites your children are accessing at home. Many students are trying to replicate certain challenges they see online or are using words that are inappropriate for a school setting based on what they are seeing on the phone/tablets/laptops/computers.

Just another reminder that student phones and smart watches are NOT allowed to be on during the school day. Please refrain from contacting your child on these devices during the school day

Children must have a coat each day, hoodies are not warm enough if we go outside for recess or have fire drills. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated. Should you need a coat for your child, please let me know and we can arrange to get one for your child. If your child is giving you a hard time about wearing a coat, please let me know and I will speak with him/her
