Hello ECC Families,
The weather this week is getting warmer and I am excited about spring coming soon! I hope that with time change, everyone is adjusting well.
 
There are a few things that I would like to share with you:
 
I greatly appreciate having family volunteers at ECC for the past few weeks. I wanted to take a moment to thank those who helped out! If you are interested in volunteering, please let me know.
 
If you want your child to wear a mask, be sure to send your child with a mask on and an extra in their backpack.
 
Here are some photos of our activities this week.
We also had a visitor: Nozemi Higgins, one of ECC parents/caregivers, doing a demonstration of Origami in our Desert Room with our Kindergarteners. It was a great learning experience for them:
I want to acknowledge that March is American Heritage Month, Developmental Disabilities Month and Women’s History Month. Deaf History Month also just started on March 13 and will end on April 15.

Finally, a COVID Update:
Since masks are now optional for MPS students and staff, we are also changing some other COVID guidelines, including removing our social distance requirement, limited cafeteria seating and one-way entrances in buildings. These changes will begin Wednesday, March 23 to ensure students, families and staff have had time to receive clear notification. Please contact healthandsafety@tlcdeaf.org with any concerns and review our full plan at TLCDeaf.org/coronavirus 
Have a great weekend!
