Thank you parents today for your help during dismissal. You did a great job of ensuring buses had the space needed to get into the parking lot. We appreciate your patience as we got car riders loaded. It will get faster and more efficient as we go. We had a great day at school. We loved having our student back in the building with us. One last thing if you are planning to use the after school program next week you need to contact the office, get signed up and pay your fee. Students can not stay unless they are signed up and payment is made by Friday of this week. Thank you have a great evening.

Good morning Parents We are so excited about the start of school tomorrow. Just a couple of reminders before we begin. Drop off and pick up are in the back of the building. Car riders may begin to drop off at 7:05 in the morning. Buses will be taking middle and high students in the morning to HCMS and HCHS if you need transportation. Pre-K and Kinder parents may walk their child in to the building tomorrow. Everyone else will be in the gym. Teachers will be there to meet and greet you there. There will be someone in the office in the morning if you have medication, documents, or proof of residence to turn in to the office. In the afternoon, dismissal will begin at 2:45. Bus riders will dismiss first, please do not block the entrance into the back pick up lanes, buses will have to come through and then cars can pull in behind buses. Remember middle and high students will not be brought to EES in the afternoon. We are looking forward to a great first day and a great school year. Please contact the school if you have any questions. MBrooks

After check in you will then be able to walk to your child’s classroom. Below is a list of things you will need to be prepared to do at open house.

If you are living with a relative, the same procedure applies. Bring any updated medical forms and medications that need to be kept in the clinic for your child.

EES families First, thank you for your patience as we work through the kinks with our online registration process. We have a couple of pieces that we want to clear up. First, it does not matter which school webpage you go to to access the registration links. Once you are in and completing the forms, you will be able to add all of your children no matter which schools they are attending. You only have to complete the registration forms one time for your family. Second, Pre K students are required to complete these registration forms in addition to the Pre K specific forms that you have already completed. Last, if you are applying for the After School Program (ASP), please make sure you complete the ASP Registration(this will only be done one time) and then complete the ASP Weekly Registration to indicate the days your child will be attending ASP. Again, thank you for your patience. Continue to reach out if you have further questions.
