The First Day of School
We have had a great first day! Arrival went off without a hitch! To make it even more efficient, please pull up as far as you can before letting your kids get out of the car, and please do not get out of your car unless absolutely necessary. If you arrive after the buses have arrived, your child should use the main entrance, even if their tag indicates a different entrance. Dismissal was not quite as efficient, but I know it will get better with time. Please try to pull up as far as you can, and if at all possible, try to only let your child enter and exit your vehicle curbside for both arrival and dismissal. This will help keep everyone safe. Thank you for your patience!! Pictured below are arrival, two kindergarten classes, Mr. Schuessler's "Music on a Cart", and outdoor PE.
Curriculum Night
Virtual Curriculum Night will be held next Thursday, 9/17. Your child's teacher will send you a Zoom link. K & 1 will take place from 6:00 - 6:25, 2 & 3 will take place from 6:30 - 6:55, and 4th grade will take place from 7:00 - 7:25. This will be a time for you to meet your child's teacher and learn about the program he or she will experience this year.
Polka Dot Day
Next Tuesday is International Dot Day so we have decided to have Tuesday be a polka-dot day. Please have your children wear their dots! Why? Why not!! 😊
Positivity Project
Next week we kick off the Positivity Project with the Other People Mindset. This mindset consists of the five elements intended to hep people understand ways to build positive relationships in their own lives: identifying and appreciating the good in others, knowing my words and actions affect others, supporting others when they struggle, cheering others' success, and being present and giving others my attention. #PositivityInAction
Welcome New Staff
In an earlier blog we welcomed several new staff members to East Hill. I would now like to welcome four more new staff members: Elizabeth Rapple is our new early literacy teaching assistant. Donna Nadler-White is our new library aide, and Becky Tully and Courtney Unser are our new building substitutes. We welcome them to our East Hill family!
Twitter
Please follow us on Twitter! @EHElementary (School), @EastHillPE (Physical Education) and @MoserVogler (art) are just three of the twitter handles we use. Your child's teacher may also have a twitter account.
Screening Slip
Don't forget to have your child bring in their completed, purple screening slip daily. If a child forgets, no worries. Nurse Condon is prepared!
Have a great rest of the week!
