June 4th, 2020

Bus Parade 2.0 – We have adjusted the bus parade from seven smaller bus routes to one parade with staff members together.  This will allow students to see teachers and support staff all within one parade.   Attached to this email you will find the schedule for Monday, June 8th, beginning at 1:00 p.m. through approximately 3:15 p.m.

Collecting Chromebooks/Library Books/Distributing Items from classrooms – On Wednesday, June 10th, and Thursday, June 11th from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. we will have tables in the front half circle with any of the classroom items, lost and found, and a location to drop off Chromebooks. Tables will be arranged from the youngest classrooms, Kindergarten tables, near the far entrance can collection trailer area, to the oldest, eighth grade by the flag poles along the curb.  Items to take home will be on/near a table for each homeroom.  There will be boxes near each table for the collection of library books, text books, Chromebooks, and anything else needing to be returned or handed in. Please send back all computers and cords, working or not working, into these collection boxes.  We will also have tables on the left side by the half circle with lost and found. 

Yearbooks –  If these are here by the pick-up/drop-off days, we will have them available. If they don’t arrive by these dates or any that are not picked up if they arrive in time, will then be mailed out.

Drive-through Retirement Celebration

We will have a drive-through retirement celebration for Mr. Swain and Mrs. Teune for their many years of service to ECS.  On June 11th they will be in the middle school lot and families are welcome to drive by and wish them well with their upcoming retirement between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Summer Reading – Instead of having an ECS  summer reading expectation, this will be viewed as an option so that families can take time to enjoy the outdoors in a safe manner.  Please email your child’s teacher if you would like some recommendations.

Food delivery – If your family is in need over the summer, please contact the Epsom Food Pantry for assistance, 736-4024 or through their Facebook page, Epsom Food Pantry.
