ECC Families Newsletter

We have had a wonderful start to the school year. Thank you for all you have done to help this be a smooth start. The students are doing a great job of learning the routines and procedures very quickly. We love seeing our students walk into the building all smiles and ready to learn.

Please help us by having your car tag visible for the staff in the afternoon. This is very helpful as staff members are calling names and organizing students for pick-up. It does seem long right now, but it does get faster and better every day. Thank you for being patient and kind as we are all learning the drop-off and pick-up procedures.

Each week ECC learns about a different color. Check out this video about the color RED!

Students have the opportunity to earn Eagle Bucks throughout the school day. For example, we use Eagle Bucks for students being responsible, respectful , and safe. The teachers use pocket charts or ziploc baggies to keep their Eagle Bucks in. The counselor provides a schedule to the teachers of when it is their turn to redeem their Eagle Bucks. It's is a great incentive to promote positive behavior at our campus. The students enjoy learning to count their Eagle Bucks and "shopping" with Mrs. Barrett, or redeeming their Eagle Bucks for a fun activity.

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.
