Phone and internet are back!

We DO have school on Friday. All workshops were pushed to the start of the school year, so there are not workshop days throughout the year.

CHANGE OF PLANS! Health Access Network advised that they will be holding a flu shot clinic at RSU#67. It is scheduled for October 15th. They will begin at Ella Burr at 7:30am. The forms will be sent home with students today.

Please take some time this weekend to wash your child's masks and water bottle. Regular cleaning increases safety. Thank you.

Starting this week, remote packet return and pick up is changing from Fridays to Mondays (Tuesdays if Monday is a holiday). You can pick up and return your learning packets between 8:00 and 1:30. We will be unable to accept or pass out packets between 1:30 and 2:30 due to dismissal and social distancing protocols.

Please check the EPB website daily for regular updates as we continue to push school opening plans and procedures out.

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.
