We Can, & We Will Be Somebody Who Makes Everybody Feel Like Somebody at Eanes Elementary!
Mrs. Ryan's Weekly Message
Dear Mustangs,
It's hard to believe the end of the first grading period ends this Friday. Please remember students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. on October 25th, 26th and 27th for our Parent/Teacher Conferences. No lunches will be served on those days, but buses will run. We look forward to sharing important information about your child during your conferences. Please enter the campus through the front gate (located between the library and the office), as the front office will be locked.
We value your partnership in ensuring your children have the very best experience possible while in our care at Eanes Elementary. Together, we can and we will enjoy a great year!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Lesley Ryan
QUICK REPORT
We are always looking for ways to foster an even safer and more caring school community. We have added a new feature to our websites to ensure students, staff and parents have a voice to report issues that may affect their peers and/or schools.
Quick Report allows school administrators to receive tips at any time and have the ability to respond in a timely manner to issues that impact the school or individual students. The reported issues range from bullying to weapons/threats.
Students, staff, parents and other stakeholders can visit the district website or any campus website and click either "Connect" at the top navigation bar, "Quick Links" at the top navigation bar, or click under the "Students" section, then select "Quick Report".
Once on the Quick Report page, you can identify which school(s) receives the tip, select an appropriate topic from the drop down list, write the message and submit the tip. There is also an option to include a photograph as appropriate. Messages may be communicated anonymously or with contact information.
Please note that in an emergency, you should call 911, or in the case of a mental health crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Dear Parents,
Our Specials classes are participating in Socktober, a world wide fundraiser to provide socks to the homeless. In PE, students are watching Kid President's speech about Socktober (see link below) and are encouraged to bring new socks to their Specials classes (Art, Music & PE) to donate to organizations that provide to the homeless, such as Community First. The Specials classes will collect the socks until October 27th , which happens to be EE's annual Crazy Sock day. Crazy Sock day is when students wear their craziest, funniest, weirdest and goofiest socks to school, just because it's fun!

An important part of teaching the curriculum in any classroom is having a positive and safe learning environment. Social and emotional learning (SEL) provides the foundation for this environment. EISD has chosen to highlight relationship skills as our SEL focus for the first nine weeks. Using Second Step as our curriculum, teachers are helping students develop the skills necessary to develop healthy relationships with others.
As our partners in education, we encourage you to support our efforts in this area. The Parent Toolkit is a resource for parents that was developed by NBC News Education Nation and is supported by Pearson. The Toolkit provides parents a wealth of information, in English and Spanish, on social and emotional development in addition to academics, health & wellness, financial literacy, and college & career.
According to the Parent Toolkit one way to help your elementary school student learn social skills and nurture relationship-building abilities is to teach the “sandwich” technique. “In basic terms, this method involves ‘sandwiching’ the feedback or problem between a compliment and a positive conclusion.” If your child feels a friend is being unkind, teach your child how to handle the problem by starting with a positive, sharing the concern, and ending with another positive. For example, “I am glad we are friends, and I want to be friends. At lunch yesterday, you yelled at me and made me sad. I want to be friends so next time, could you tell me if I’m doing something you don’t like.”
