To end our first week back EES cheered Mrs. Kelly into retirement. Students and staff lined the hallway before Mrs. Kelly left today. EES Bears are sure going to miss this amazing woman! We are Beary happy for her and her next chapter in life. We are going to miss seeing her everyday.

What a first week back! We welcomed students back on Monday. Through out the week we had some wonderful donations from the surrounding community. EES Staff even celebrated August birthdays!

Good morning!! A little Pikmykid information: First: If you were able to make open house you received a parent connection code.(Highlighted in pink in the picture) That code you use to connect your child in the Pikmykid app. Second:This week you will receive a car tag. (Highlighted in in purple) These are for your car window. This will help move along car line. When you arrive for dismissal at car pool check in when you get here on your app and post this the car tag in your window. This helps Mrs. Menning knows who to move over from "waiting" to "dismiss." Third: If you weren't able to make open house both your parent connection and car tag will come home this week. Thank you all for bearing with us as we work together to move this car line along.

Good Afternoon Parents - This is an important announcement for dismissal. Please note that the car line is at the back of the school. The direction for the car line is posted on our site; however, I will explain this now. From Sunset Avenue, please turn onto Clifton Road. The next turn is a right onto Avondale Avenue, and then a right onto Briarcliff Road. Next a right onto Patterson. Lastly, a left into the parking lot. Remember to use your PikMyKid app once you are on Patterson. Bus Riders - At this time, there is no driver for bus 143. Please make plans to pick up your student in the car line.

Reminder: Carpool students are dropped off and picked up at the back of the school. Parents will not be allowed to walk their students to class in the mornings. In the afternoons we ask that you remain in your car to help with the safety of our students. See you all Monday 8/28/23 for the first day back!

You will get notification of a code, through Parent Portal, to join your student's teachers' rooms. If you do not have Parent Portal, you must come to the school with ID to receive the login information.
