We will have more information coming home soon! Our book fair will be from 10/29-11/2. This is a great time to buy books for Christmas. There is a way to order online too for out of town relatives. Keep an eye out for flyers coming home.

We did it! Not only did we make our goal we surpassed it! I can't tell you enough how proud I am to be a part of this community. Our families are the best! We sold 1086 tubs of cookie dough which equals $17376.00 Are profit margin was 45% so we made $7819.20 just in cookie dough profit. We also received $750.00 in donations. Top sellers are listed below. To make the classroom portion fair we took the total tubs sold by classroom and divided by the number of students to get a per child total. Sibling amounts were added together and the total added to both classes. We will be sending out information about pick up as soon as we have our delivery date.

Every year we have a tradition of having our youngest students parade through the preschool and then weather permitting over to the school to walk down the Kindergarten hallway. We love for parents or other family members to attend so you can assist your child through the parade and take their goodies they collect home after. The parade is on Halloween at 9:30 am and we end up back in the classrooms in time for their classroom party!

Halloween Parade

We use a center software management system called Procare. There is an option within the Procare system which allows families to make updates to their contact information, see their tuition account activity and make a payment with their credit card. In order to register you must use the same email address you have on file with us. Below is a link with instructions.

This time of year there sometimes is a spike in the cases of children with lice. Lice are a nuisance for sure but they are not a health concern. Our policy regarding this is to provide education and support to our families to help prevent and stop the spread. Teachers will not perform classroom lice checks if a child is displaying symptoms the teacher may take the child aside and check for the presence of live lice. If live lice are present we will contact the child's parents and have them pick the child up at their earliest convenience so they can begin the treatment process. Sometimes a courtesy letter may go out to parents but this is not a requirement. A child may return to school 24 hours after treatment. A child will not be sent home if they have nits or be required to stay home. We encourage our parents to take the time to do a thorough check of your child's hair on a regular basis, girls can wear their hair up and coats and hats should be kept on separate hooks and cubbies. Our teachers are very vigilante about keeping their areas clean and making sure students understand not to wear each other coats or hats. If you have questions please email me or give me a call. Below you will find information regarding lice and treatment options.

In an effort to keep our communications as up to date as possible we will have a new remind group for the 2018-2019 year. I will keep both groups up until after the first week of school then I will delete the current remind group and only the @eccfam1819 group will remain. Remind is the text app we use to keep all of our families up to date on important information. Below you will find a link to the new remind group for this year.
