On Wednesday, December 11, and Thursday, December 12, the district maintenance team will be working on removing the current front landscaping. For safety reasons, the ECE parking lot will be closed during this time.

Parking Instructions

Families are kindly asked to use the highlighted parking spots (see the picture below) during these days. The front entrance will remain accessible, so you can still enter the building without any issues. There will be cones out to guide foot traffic, please follow the path of the cones to the entrance.

We truly appreciate your flexibility and cooperation as we make these exciting improvements to our landscaping. I will send a reminder on Tuesday and any updates that may occur before now and then.

The LECE PTO has requested that the teachers update their classroom wishlist to reflect items that are needed for the classroom winter parties in a couple of weeks. Please follow this link to shop the Classroom Wish Lists through a list posted on PT Board. We also sent an email out with the individual links, and they will stay accessible on PT Board all year long. Thank you!

*****************************************************************

All items will be delivered directly to ECE or ECE West and taken to your child's classroom. It is very helpful if you can note which room is the recipient on a gift receipt!

Email the Board at lindberghecepto@gmail.com if you have any questions!

We've created a "Staff Favorites" list to help guide families who may be interested in purchasing a gift for their child's teacher or staff in the building. This list includes some of our staffs' favorite things. Please note that it is entirely optional to use. It’s just a fun way to offer some ideas if you're looking for inspiration.

ECE is fortunate to have an incredible staff. To express our gratitude, we're creating a space for you to give personal shoutouts to the staff in the building that you want to recognize.

How it works:

1. Fill out the provided form.
2. We'll add your message to our weekly staff Smore and post it outside of their classroom.

Let's celebrate and uplift our staff!
