From the Principal's Desk
Greetings EACS Families,
Happy Monday! I hope you have had an amazingly warm weekend! I hope this newsletter is informative. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to give our front office a call.
I cannot express the importance of attendance and arriving to school on time each day! It is imperative for our students to feel less anxious and classrooms have less distractions. Let's make a sincere effort to have our students ready to learn at their perspective school start times.
Let's have a fabulous week!
Your Principal,
Lynn Mills
