Ericson Elementary School

Greetings, Ericson Families,

We wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your dedication, support, and hard work have made this year truly remarkable, and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful community.

To all the parents, thank you for entrusting us with the education and growth of your children. Your partnership and involvement have been invaluable, and we appreciate all the support you've provided throughout the year. From attending parent-teacher conferences to volunteering your time and resources, your commitment to your child's education has not gone unnoticed.

And to our fantastic students, a big round of applause! Your enthusiasm for learning, creativity, and perseverance have been inspiring to witness. Each of you has shown tremendous growth and development, both academically and personally, and it has been an absolute joy to watch you flourish throughout the year.

We want to extend a special congratulations to our 5th graders who are moving up to the next chapter of their academic journey. You have worked incredibly hard, and your promotion is a testament to your dedication and resilience. As you prepare to embark on this new adventure, remember to carry with you the knowledge, skills, and memories you've gained during your time here. We are immensely proud of each and every one of you, and we know you will continue to achieve great things in the years to come.

For those returning next year, we couldn't be more excited to continue this journey with you. Your passion for learning and your commitment to excellence are what make our school community so special, and we cannot wait to see what amazing things we will accomplish together in the upcoming year.

As we bid farewell to this school year, let us take a moment to reflect on all the wonderful memories we've created and the milestones we've achieved together. Thank you for your unwavering support, your hard work, and your dedication to making this a truly great year.

Let’s finish this last week of by showing our leadership!

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Ashton and Ms. Luong

• A friendly reminder about the importance of calling in your child's absences when they are unable to attend school. This helps us keep track of their attendance and ensures they don't fall behind on their learning. If you could please make sure to call in at (619) 605-1600 and let us know whenever your child will be absent. We would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your attention this matter, and let us know if you have any questions or need assistance.
