 Dear Parents,


I hope you had a restful Spring Break and that both you and your child(ren) are ready for the 4th quarter.

I would like to kindly remind you to please fill out the International Day form, linked here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe3gq-etWX4DvOwCcAcFt6F8Tm-VV6Ap_UhuhX-UklFqB7mmg/viewform?usp=sf_link

All ES students must participate in the International Day Parade, so filing in the form is necessary in order for the school to be prepared as to which countries will be represented. If you have already filled in the form, please disregard the message above.

I would also like to inform you of a new procedure for dropping off items your child(ren) forget after the school day has begun. The Senior Leadership Team has decided to permit the delivery of other important items that students may have forgotten at home (the usual suspects are devices, a range of academic materials, PE/athletic equipment, and the like). There are a couple of important details to share with you:

First, in order to minimize as much as possible disruptions to the instructional day, the delivery window will run from the start of the school day to 9:00 AM only. Parents will leave items in the same collection area currently used for lunch delivery. The school will not accept anything that is delivered after 9:00 AM (excluding lunches, of course.). Please inform your child's teacher, via Class Dojo, that you have dropped off the item and they will let your child know.

It will be the responsibility of the students to pick up items that have been left for them. There will be no deliveries to classrooms. Students can retrieve their items during the passing time between periods. However, teachers may permit students to pick up an item during the class period if it is essential to participate in the lesson.

Parents will be permitted to deliver items beginning on Monday, April 10.

With Gratitude -
