Hello EES Families and Community!
Thank you to all the families who joined us last week for our Back to School Nights! It was wonderful to fill our building with so many engaged conversations, shared goals, and community excitement as we set the stage for an incredible school year together. Your voice and perspective help us improve, so please take a moment to share your thoughts by filling out our Back to School Night Feedback Form.
Mark your calendars for our next big community gathering: our Title I Family Kickoff on Thursday, October 1st! We will begin the evening with dinner for families from 5:30–6:00 PM, followed by our kickoff presentation and collaborative activities from 6:00-7:30 PM
During the session, we will explore the history of Title I and walk through our School Improvement Plan. Families will have the opportunity to discuss and share the commitments they can make to support our academic goals. Scholars are warmly invited to attend as well—students will spend time with our staff reflecting on their own commitments to school growth, and then we will all reconvene as one community to share our collective vision and finalize our schoolwide Title I Compact. This evening is a wonderful way to stay informed, understand our school's priorities, and directly provide input.
We hope to see everyone there as we remain 100% ALL In for our Elksters!
Sincerely,
Danielle Shanks, Principal
Jonathan Swann, Assistant Principal
Jayme Brewrink, Assistant Principal
