Letters from classroom teachers will be going home early next week. We are still configuring classrooms as we get a more definitive number of students attending each grade-level and finalize the number of students each room will hold.

If you have not registered your child for the 4-year-old program of for Kindergarten, please call the office.

In accordance with the CDC when school begins, students and staff will be required to wear a face covering. Now would be a great time to teach your kids to wear a mask. Buy or make them a cute one. Have them wear it for half an hour at a time to get used to it. The more they get used to wearing a mask, the easier it will be when school starts this fall.

DATE ADDED. This crazy school year is quickly coming to an end and we want to have a drive-through celebration. The staff has planned a "reverse" parade. On Wednesday, June 10, between 12:00 and 2:00 EPB staff will be positioned around the entrance and playground for families to drive up through and see everyone one last time before summer vacation. Cars will be decorated and there might even be some bubbles and costumes.

Report cards and teacher placement will be mailed on June 12. This is preliminary assignment and the placement might change due to COVID planning/restrictions.

Ella P. Burr will be collecting any leveled reading books ​and library books on Wednesday, June 10 from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. There will be crates located at the lower entrance to deposit any books you have at home. We are NOT collecting work students completed during the distance learning time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Parents are asked to pick up distance learning packets in the gym between 8 and 2 on Tuesday. Please enter the building through the upper doors proceed through the gym and out the gym doors. The remainder of the building will not be accessible, which includes bathrooms. Mr. Loiselle will be there to answer any question or concerns you may have. See you tomorrow.

Don't forget, Thursday is the first-grade concert at 1:00 and doors open at 12:30. Hope to see you there.

Due to the impending weather, the Kindergarten concert scheduled for Thursday, February 6, has been postponed until next Thursday, February 13. Same time, same place.
