Students Line up at Paws in the morning!
On the first day of school, we will all be outside with our EW shirts. The picture below shows the paws on our playground. There are two sets of paws. Grades K, 2, and 4 line up at the first set (closet to car line), and grades 1, 3, and 5 (furthest on playground) line up at the second set. The younger the grade, the closer to the door they will enter. Teachers will be displaying their name and grade signs so you can quickly locate them.
Need a Bookbag or School Supplies?
