ECC Family NewsletterSeptember 12, 2021
Dear ECC Families,Thank you for a great week! Often short weeks are the hardest, but I was super impressed with howwell students remembered routines after their long weekend. Thank you to all of the parents who have
volunteered to support our breakfast program. Also a big shout-out to Ms. Muni (Huck's Grandma),for volunteering to do our Birthday board! Students love seeing their name as they walk in and out ofthe building. Our �rst �re drill was a huge success!! Teachers practiced with their classes earlier in the week and itshowed! We practice �re drills monthly. See pictures below. Please remember to send in a note with your child if they are changing their dismissal plans for the dayor call the o�ce before 1:00pm. The �rst month of school is so important for establishing routines.When students are constantly changing their arrival/dismissal routine, it can create anxiety and maketheir transition and/or day very hard. Please try to not change their routine too much during the �rstmonth of school. Thank you to all who have already joined our PTA! If you haven't yet, please join by September 27th.We will share the membership totals at our �rst PTA meeting on September 28th. The classroom withthe most memberships earns an extra recess with the Principal and POPSICLES! Reminder, you can �nd past newsletters on our district's website.
