Ebb Valley Elementary
Second Week NewsThe second week of school was very successful. Parents and students are learning the pick-up and drop-off routines at the school. Classroom teachers have adopted their normal schedules and learning is in full swing. We appreciate parents patience as we develop new routines.
We have had some questions regarding our special area schedule. This year we have been able to develop a special area schedule (Day A, Day B, Day C, Day D, Day E) that will rotate whenever we miss a day of school. For example, we started school on Tuesday, August 26th which was Day A. Wednesday was Day B, Thursday was Day C, Friday was Day D of the schedule, etc. We were off on Monday for Labor Day, which would have been Day E, so Day E moved forward to Tuesday, September 2nd. Many school holidays fall on a Friday or Monday, so having the rotating schedule eliminates the problem we have faced in past years where your child might miss 5 or 6 weeks of a special area class if there were holidays and weather related closings. Children should be writing the Day of the schedule in their Agenda or teachers should provide a schedule so you know when your child has Physical Education.
Thanks,
Mr. Mitchell
