Updates and Announcements

Just a few announcements:

As we all know, it's been quite cold recently!  When we have indoor arrival and/or dismissal (cold weather or precipitation) please do not enter/exit through the lobby.  Please enter the building at the ramp (halfway between the front lobby doors and the school yard gate) and go through the cafeteria.  If it is before 8:30, your child can remain in the cafeteria until school starts.  Breakfast is also served until 8:30.  Dismissal should be the same - please enter the building through the cafeteria.  From the cafeteria, there are three different stairwells to use to get upstairs.

Secondly, a huge "thank you" to everyone who has helped chaperone the locker rooms during our weekly swimming lessons.  If you didn't sign up and still want to come, please meet us in the lobby at 11:20am on any upcoming Monday.

In case you didn't see it in James' emails, please note that next Wednesday we will be having a small music share based on the work the students have been doing with Nina from S'cool Sounds.  They'll be playing the recorder, drums, and shakers.  The share will be in the auditorium from 9:00am-9:30am and will be only for the first and second graders as well as their families.  They will definitely be seats for you!

Speaking of seats, on Monday morning we will be holding a special Town Meeting to honor Pete Seeger.  Please join us in the auditorium - and sit with us! - to sing some great songs together.  Hope to see you sitting and signing with us next week.

Finally, I'm sure you're being bombarded with emails from the PA about this event, but just another reminder about the EVCS Winter Jubilee next Friday.  Click the link to learn more about this great event that supports the wonderful drama, art, and project-based work our school values so much.

Thanks!
