ELC at George Earle Weekly Update

The Week of the Young Child® is a time to recognize that children's opportunities are our responsibilities, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment—at home, at child care, at school, and in the community—that will promote their early learning.

Dr. Buffington and Mayor Snedecor were on hand to help Mrs. Gutierrez and The Early Learning Center staff and students kick off The Week of the Young Student with their annual Bubble Bonanza! It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon...perfect for bubble-blowing!

These forms will be coming home the Monday we return from break. Please fill out the paper in your child's folder asking which school they will be attending next year and return it ASAP. We need to have one returned for every child! The home school listed was determined by the address we have provided in Skyward. Please contact the office with any questions or concerns regarding the home school. Thank you!

Thank you to all who came out for Kindergarten Kick-Off. We loved meeting all of you! Your next step for ALL incoming Kinders even if you did not make it to Kick-Off will be to complete the online registration. Please make sure you have all information needed before completing the online registration. Please call our office with any questions. 219-942-7263 x8802

We will be sending home raffle tickets on Monday 4/10 for a raffle that benefits our Building Brickies program. We would love if everyone was able to participate and sell the 12 tickets sent home with them. However, if you are not able to participate- please just leave the envelope in your child's folder and stick a little note on it that says "Not Participating" so we know to take them out of their folders.

If you are participating, once your tickets are sold send the payment and stubs back in the envelope that is provided. If you want to join the 24 club, please let your child's teacher know that you would like to get 12 more tickets.

All stubs and money will be due back by 4/28/23. Thanks in advance for your participation!!

There is no need to call the office when calling your child off of school due to illness. Follow the simple steps below to have your child marked absent. If we have any questions, we will get ahold of you. Thanks so much!
