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 this week to thank your child’s teacher for all they do!

Letters of acceptance for next year’s enrollment will go out at the beginning of the month! Information on class placement, supply lists, orientation, etc. will be sent out in July. Mark your calendars as our new school year begins August 18th!
