Dear East Hill Elementary School Families,
We had a short week but it was full of learning and fun at East Hill!
We started the week on Tuesday with a kickoff to our PARP program. Our EH school community gathered in the gym to celebrate reading and our guest author. Thank you to our PTA for sponsoring the visit of author, Bruce Coville on Thursday. Mr. Coville met with all grade levels and talked to our students about becoming an author and writing his books. Our PARP celebration runs until Friday, October 20th. Our goal is to read 1800 books, and we are well on our way!
Next week, attendance letters will be sent out district wide. These letters are sent to families of children who have missed more than 11% of school. These letters are a requirement of the state and are sent to students who were absent regardless of the cause of the absence. Of course we understand that some students are too ill to attend school. Attendance is critical. Students must be in school to learn.
Keep reading Wildcats!
