Hello, ECC Families!
Fall is actually here! The cold air and color of leaves are changing. That means we will have to dress warm. Be sure to send your child with appropriate clothing. 
 
Our director of student services Chris Kaftan has great news to share. Please see below.
A reminder to please review our ECC Family Handbook and then sign your name on the printed form or fill out the online consent to confirm that you have read it. 
Anti-Bias Education Corner:
An author named Lauren Barrett reached out to me and shared her new book called “Henry’s Hiccups”. She also mentioned that the illustrator JoJo Pantoja, a High School student, drew pictures that are shown in the book. JoJo Pantoja is Puerto Rican Deaf. If you would like to know more about this book you can find it online and also follow @laurenbarrettwrites on Instagram. If you want to place an order, you can email her.
Here are pictures of our ECC students from this week!
Reminders:
  • TLCPA’s Trunk or Treat event this weekend
  • Please send silverware pots, pans, and/or utensils if you do not need it. We could use them for our Outdoor Classroom.
 
That’s it for today. Thank you!

Meal Program Update
This fall, TLC submitted an application with the Massachusetts Department of Nutrition for free meals (breakfast and lunch) for all TLC students. We were approved! This means starting effective immediately, all students can receive free meals for the rest of this school year, regardless of which program they are in. 

For parents/guardians who paid for meals this school year, we will be reimbursing families the cost they paid for meals. If you have any questions about this exciting news, please reach out to me at ckaftan@tlcdeaf.org. Thank you!
