Notices
Parking Lot Safety
Please be safe and cautious in our parking lot! Look behind you and side-to-side before backing out of parking spots and watch your speed while driving. To keep traffic to a minimum we also ask that you not use the parking lot as a cut through from Worthington-Galena Rd. to Lazelle Rd. Please pull into a parking spot when dropping off, and walk with your child to their classroom. There is NO parking or drop off in front of the building or in the fire lane across from the entrance. Also, please do not leave children unattended in parked vehicles. Thank you for your help in keeping our parking lot safe for all our families!
Open Enrollment Begins
March 1 begins our open enrollment for new students, so don’t forget to turn in your re-enrollment forms for 2021-2022! Forms are available in the office. Please fill out your Options Form and turn it into the office with your enrollment fee as soon as possible. Class placement will be determined by the date the office receives your form.
Teacher Appreciation Week
We are blessed at the ECC to have such wonderful teachers! We will celebrate Teacher Appreciation week April 19–23. Stop by the office and grab a Teacher’s Favorites sheet to help you as you look for something special for your child’s teacher to present to them during that week. Please take a moment during this week to thank your child’s teacher for all they do!
