EP family members,
Monday begins our journey into the 24-25 school year. We had a wonderful turn out at orientation and I know everyone is ready to get back on a regular schedule again. Here are a few reminders that might help for Monday. Remember to allow your child enough time to get up early and get acclimated so they are not rushed. ONLY K and 1st grade parents may walk their child to the teacher classrooms (if they choose) for drop off and then leave for the first 2 days ONLY. This is not a time for a conference . We understand this may be an emotional day for our new Eagles and we want to accommodate for that. 2nd -5th grade students will walk to class on their own. The front doors open at 7:15 am but the hallways open up at 7:30 am so if you arrive earlier you will have to wait in the cafeteria until 7:30 to walk them to class. Classes start at 7:50 am everyday so students are considered tardy after 7:50 everyday. All parents will need to exit the building unless you are staying for our annual Boo-Hoo Breakfast ( Adults ONLY) for Coffee and Donuts in the media center directly after the announcements at 7:50 am.
Remember to be patient and plan for delays during dismissal the first few days until everyone gets adjusted.
Again Welcome Back and we look forward to seeing our Eagles Monday morning!

Parents,
Good afternoon parents. This is Mr. Nuss, Principal of Elliott Point Elementary School. Yesterday our school went into a brief precautionary response to an unscheduled alarm activation at our school. It was quickly determined that a faulty sensor caused the alarm to activate. Our faculty and staff followed safety protocols and resumed business as usual. Safety is our top priority. Thank you and have a good day.
Parents,
This is an AMAZING time of year. The students are starting to take their F.A.S.T assessments in K-5 and ready to show all the things they have learned throughout the school year. Please help us reassure them how well they are going to do and hard work does pays off. Students will be taking their F.A.ST assessments all week so they need to be on time and have plenty of rest. Thank-you in advance.
-Our Archery team is traveling next week for Nationals in Louisville, KY and we wish them the best of luck!
-This is National Teacher Appreciation Week! Our teachers have a very difficult job and they work very hard to make sure our students are successful in and out of school. Please take a moment to show them how much they are appreciated.
Go Eagles!
