Great News!
Free Meals for ALL School Aged Students:
We have been informed that we have the ability to provide free meals for ALL school aged students through the National School Lunch program through December 31, 2020 OR until the federal funds for this program run out. The free meals include both breakfast and lunch. (Please note that this applies to the first breakfast and lunch only. Second breakfasts or second lunches and a la carte items do not qualify and have to be paid for.)
If you would like your child to receive meals on days that he/she is learning remotely, please "register" by clicking here. If your child attends school everyday, you do not need to complete this form. If you have previously signed up this year for your child / children to receive meals at home on remote instructional days, you do not need to complete a new form. As a point of clarification, all meals will be delivered to the homes of in-district families. Non-resident families interested in this opportunity need to contact Mrs. Williams, Cafeteria Manager.

Temperature Checks
September 10th,
This post is being made as we are finding it necessary to make a couple of adjustments to our procedures at the school.
Due to inconsistencies in the daily health screening process, we will now be taking every students’ temperature using a touchless thermometer when the buses arrive at the school or at each of the entrances to the school every morning. This will start on Friday, September 11th.
At the same time, we are also asking that parents continue to complete and submit daily health screening forms. Please remember screening forms for all children should be completed every school day regardless of the instructional model a child is following that day.
We would also like to share a couple of updates for afternoon dismissal.
- Families with elementary students only or a combination of elementary and middle high students should continue to utilize the elementary entrance for car pick ups.
- Families picking up students in grades 7-12 ,only, may use the back entrance by the bus garage.
Thank you.
Commitment to Student Mental Health & Wellness
ECS will be reaching out by phone to each and every family to ensure that we are meeting our students social-emotional needs as they return to school for the coming year. This form is supplementary in case you missed our call and/or would prefer to provide information digitally. All information you provide is confidential. Please note that the completion of this form is optional.
UPDATED - RE-OPENING INFORMATION / MEETINGS / SURVEY
August 25, 2020
Dear ECS Parent / Guardian,
Thank you to everyone attened the live-streamed parent / community informational meetings on August 17-19. It was nice to see so many people.
During these meetings several questions were asked, and Mrs. Bush and Mr. Ploetz did their best to answer them during the meeting. We would like to assemble the answers to the questions in a concise manner and share them here on the Website. However, this is going to take a little time, as we are focusing on actionable items that need to be completed to keep the District moving forward.
In the meantime, here is a link to the Powerpoint presentation that was used.
ECS Re-Opening Presentation
Please know that we are constantly evolving, so some of the items on the Powerpoint may be modified moving forward.
Sincerely,
Bob Miller
