Principal's Message
Greetings, Ericson Families,
Thank you for joining us at our Back to School Night! We’re thrilled about the upcoming school year and look forward to making learning engaging and enjoyable for all our students. If you were not able to attend, please see links below for:
If you’re interested in volunteering for Viking drop-off or would like to support our STEAM workshops focusing on science, 3-D printing, or engineering, please email Principal Ashton at dashton@sandi.net. Your involvement and support are greatly appreciated.
We kindly ask that you arrive at school with plenty of time to be safe. Please avoid parking in the red zones or blocking driveways. Please do not let students out in traffic lanes. We’ve noticed an increase in cars stopping in red zones near stop signs, which is illegal and unsafe. Stopping in these areas also negatively impacts traffic flow. Your cooperation in following these guidelines is greatly appreciated to ensure that everyone is safe.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Ashton and Ms. Luong
Counselor's Update
This week our brilliant Ericson students worked hard during their counseling lessons. Kindergarten students practiced their listening skills and read "This Little Piggy's Book of Manners". 1st graders talked about the importance of following directions. 2nd grade students practiced self-talk and read "My Mouth is a Volcano". 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students all talked about communication types including passive, assertive and aggressive. They learned how to be assertive with communication and body language. Have a great weekend!
