ECC Families,

Good afternoon and Happy St. Patrick's Day. For many this is the beginning of Spring Break. Presentation ECC will be in session all week. Some of our staff will be taking time off this week to spend with their families as I am sure many of you will be traveling or relaxing this week. If your child's schedule is going to change this week or there are days they will not be here please let your child's teacher or the office know. It's always easier for us to plan ahead for a sub when we know how many students we will have in advance in a classroom where the teacher is out on vacation. It is hard to believe we are already halfway through March and the end of the year is coming fast. Students are going to be able to start enjoying some time outdoors again and we will be working on the updates to the playgrounds, provided by the fall fundraiser, over the next few months. Summer registration has begun and will continue through April 15. Please make sure to read through all of the information in the weekly update and if you have any questions let us know. Our tentative calendar for 2019-2020 will be coming out this week in a separate email. I will be taking a couple of vacation days on Monday and Tuesday so if you have immediate needs please contact our Assistant Director, Teresa Button. Have a great rest of your weekend.


God Bless,

Catherine M. Koob
Director 
Summer is Coming!
We are getting ready for our summer session and we need to know who is going to be joining us and when. Please read through the Q & A about summer enrollment below and click on the link if you need to register.

Question 1: My child attends Monday-Friday full days do I need to register him/her for summer session?

Answer 1: No. If your child is considered full-time you do not need to let us know they are attending.

Question 2: My child attends part-time during the school year do I need to register him/her for summer session?

Answer 2: Yes. If you would like for your child to attend during the summer session you will need to register them for a summer session schedule and pay the activity fee.

Question 3: What if my child attends Monday-Friday full days and they will not be attending for the summer or I would like to change their schedule?

Answer 3: If you are changing your child's full-time schedule or keeping them home for the summer you will need to let us know through the registration process. A holding fee or change of schedule fee will apply.

Lent
We will be beginning our Lenten journey on Wednesday when Fr. Tom visits to bless the students and place Ashes on their forehead. We will have a table up front with Lenten resources available for your family.
Easter Egg Hunts
Our annual Easter Egg Hunts are coming up soon. Below you will find a link to see which day your child's class will be participating. All students are asked to bring in 1 dozen already FILLED plastic eggs. Please take eggs to your child's classroom. We also have a link below to a sheet which may be helpful when choosing candy to fill your eggs with. Teachers may allow students to choose one egg to open during school time and the rest will be sent home with your child. Not only is this activity a lot of fun for the children, the teachers also use it as a learning opportunity about counting, patience, sharing and helping each other. Even though some students tend to collect more eggs than others all student go home with the same amount of eggs. We invite families to come and join in the fun too. If you are bringing a younger sibling no problem just bring in some eggs for them that morning and we will add them in. Also if you would like siblings in different classes to attend at the same time you will need to coordinate this with their teachers.


Closed for Good Friday
Our center will be closed on Friday, April 19 in observance of Good Friday.
Save the Date Spring Field Trips
We will be going to the Kansas City Zoo for our spring field trip. We will be sending out more information soon. For now we wanted to make sure to let you know when your child's class will be attending so you can make arrangements if you plan to attend.
