KEEPING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS SAFE
Read the labels at each purchase! Manufacturing processes change!
 Avoid items with allergy and ingredient alerts such as: "May Contain Peanut or Tree Nuts" "Processed on shared equipment with Peanuts or Tree Nuts" "Manufactured in a plant with Peanut or Tree Nuts" "Contains Peanut or Tree Nut Ingredients" Your diligence is keeping an allergic child safe at school.

From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Happy Second Week in Advent!
Here are a few reminders for the week ahead!
- EDC is now at full staff. Thank you for your patience and using it only when needed. Please feel free to use extended care whenever necessary!
- Mass to celebrate the Immaculate Conception will be held on Tuesday at 8:00am. All students will be attending this Mass VIRTUALLY, in their classrooms. We always have a large number of adults at this liturgy and we want to continue to be vigilant on our end with distancing. Students will receive the Eucharist in their classrooms.
- CULVERS Receipts: We continue to collect Culver's Receipts MONTHLY! We receive 10% of ALL receipts received. Simply send them in and we earn the profits! This applies to the Culvers on Grandview only.
- Virtual Instruction: Virtual instruction is only offered for those children home due to a Covid related quarantine. If your child is home sick with a cold, etc. we treat this as an illness and students should stay home, rest and get better. Work will be ready for you to pick up after 2:30. Due to the type of camera set-up we have in our classrooms, simultaneous in-person instruction and virtual instruction is not an easy task for our teachers (or students for that matter). Therefore we only offer this option for quarantined students. We appreciate your consideration.
Advent Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
