We can't let School Psychologist Week pass without showing our appreciation to our own school psychologist, Kelsey Sasser! Thank you Ms. Sasser for all you do for our Early Risers!
Let’s help students build a habit of good attendance early & often! Our Early Risers are at the age where establishing routines is critical and helps promote a successful day.

3K families, do not forget about our next Parenting Partners session on Monday, October 28th!
ECC Parents & Guardians,
Letters went home this week to notify you if your child has been identified as chronically absent. These letters will go home at the end of each quarter in an attempt to reduce our school's chronic absenteeism rate. Prior to the pandemic, 8 million students were affected by chronic absence. Today chronic absence has more than doubled. In many cases, absences from school are unavoidable due to health problems or other circumstances. However, chronic absenteeism, no matter its cause, can have a drastic impact on a student's education. The good news is that chronic absences can be significantly reduced when schools, families, and community partners work together to monitor data, nurture a culture of engagement, promote regular attendance and routines, and address hurdles that keep children from attending school every day. Let's partner together to make sure our students are PRESENT every day at school!
3K Families,
We are excited to offer our 3K Parenting Partners workshops this school year! This is a series of 4 workshops designed to empower you with practical tools to support your child academically, emotionally, and socially. Each workshop also includes an opportunity for you to engage in a fun craft activity with your child! Please join us for our first workshop this Monday, October 21st here at the ECC from 8:00-10:00 a.m. We look forward to seeing you there!
Addressing chronic absence is a key component of improving graduation rates, increasing academic achievement and giving young people the best chance at success in their adult life.
Students learned the salsa with maracas in PE today to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!
Friendly reminder, ECC families!
Fall picture day is just around the corner!
Congratulations to our Students of the Quarter! These students were selected by their teachers for best representing our 2nd Habit of Learning: Prepared. These are students who consistently use classroom materials appropriately and show they are ready to work and learn by using their whole-body listening skills.

We are ready and willing to work and learn!
