Dear EACS Families,

Our Spring sports are beginning. It will be great to watch our students compete in Track & Field, Golf, Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Soccer, musicals, concerts, plays, and Scholastic Writing, and Art competitions.

As Spring Break approaches, the Board and I understand that quality time with family is very important. We respectfully ask that parents honor our vacation dates and not take their students out of school for extra time to extend the break. Honoring instructional time is extremely important since instructional time in the classroom with the teacher is a critical component of improving student academic achievement.

As a part of our “Teach Kindness” program, we continue to collect money for Riley Children’s Hospital. Thank you to everyone for your great support of this worthy cause as we continue to exceed our District goal each year! We have EACS families who receive services from Riley Children’s Hospital.

Finally, here are some important dates:

 March 6 – IREAD-3 Testing Window Opens for 3rd Grade Students

 March 12 – Daylight Saving Time Begins

 March 20 – Inservice Day (No school)

 March 31 - April 9 – Spring Break (No school)

Dream it. Do it.
