What a Great First Week We've Enjoyed, Mustangs!

Dear EE Families,

    Happy New *School* Year, 2017-18!  Our first week back has been incredible, and we've felt so fortunate to welcome every child and family member back to our campus community for another incredible year of learning, friendship, reasonable risk taking, and exploration.  

    This week was filled with community-building, campus discoveries, and scientific conversations around the solar eclipse!  New friendships were forged, and old ones were rekindled.  Learning spaces echoed with curious voices yearning to know more and more about what the new year will hold.  Once again, EE transformed from empty classrooms to communities of learners with the ringing of a school bell.  All is right in the universe when a school building is filled with learners and educators, determined to make the world a better place each and every day.

     We are excited to enjoy our first, school-wide assembly this Friday at EE.  All students should head to the cafeteria upon arrival to sit with their classmates for the 7:35 am assembly start.  We'd love to show our school spirit each Friday by wearing our school colors - blue and red.  Go Mustangs!   

     Thank you for sharing your children with us each day at Eanes Elementary.  Thank you for sending your young leaders, artists, athletes, mathematicians, astrologers, writers, scientists, computer programmers, world explorers, dancers, and learners to school with us each day.  It is a responsibility we do not take lightly, and we are so grateful for your trust and support.  Here's to a new year and to all of our EE scholars! 

With gratitude,

Mrs. Ryan

A Few Friendly Reminders

  • School begins at 7:35, and we're excited to dive into learning and school-wide announcements right away upon students' arrival.  
  • The gates will unlock at 7:15 AM, and staff will be stationed at assigned spots to ensure your children are safe.

  • For Dismissal, K, 1, and 2 are at lower car and 3, 4, and 5 are at upper car. If you have a child in 3rd, 4th, or 5th as well as a child in a primary grade, your older child will travel to lower car to join his or her younger sibling.
  • In order to keep all students and staff safe, it is vital that visitors check in at the office to receive a badge. Visitors without badges will be re-directed to the office to check in prior to visiting the classrooms and the indoor/outdoor learning spaces.
  • Please confirm your transportation changes and updates are in the SMARTag dismissal system prior to 2:00 pm each day to ensure your child gets safely to his/her intended destination.

Healthy Students

For the month of May, we will be focusing on Responsible Decision Making or Choices. “Learning to make their own choices helps children to be more independent, responsible, and confident.”  Provide children the opportunity to make choices.  Limit options for younger children so they can have practice and experience in becoming a good decision maker.

To read about other ways to support your child in making good decisions read, “Teaching Your Kid to Make Good Decisions”.
