*Noon Dismissals There are various noon dismissal days during the school year as indicated in the calendar with // symbol surrounding the day.

Important Dates in Calendar Year
START-UP INFORMATION Emergency Information Forms - The office and classroom teachers must have an emergency form on file. Attached here are the necessary forms to fill out. Please fill out for each child in your family who attends our school. All forms must be returned to your child's homeroom teacher by Friday, September 11th. Emergency Contact Form, Field Trip Form, Consent to Release Child Form Breakfast and Hot Lunch - EBCCS provides daily breakfast and hot lunch programs. Since these programs are federally funded, students from income qualifying families maybe eligible for free or reduced meals. Federal application forms are attached. If you wish to apply for federal assistance, please return the application by Thursday, September 10th. It is necessary to fill out only one form per family. Snacks - Snacks are available daily at recess time. For the remainder of this week (Thurs -Fri) students may buy snacks. Milk and cookies are $.75 per item. Students are asked to pay at the time of purchase. Lunch Regulations - Students may bring bag lunches to school. But these lunches must come in with the children in the morning. We ask parents NOT to bring food from restaurants such as McDonalds at lunchtime. This can be upsetting for children whose parents cannot do the same. In fairness to all, we ask students to either eat the lunches provided by our school or bring bag lunches with them in the morning. Extended Day Program - Our school provides an after school program from 2:30 - 4:30pm. The rates are $10 a day for one child, $15 for two and $20 for three or more in a family. Registration for our Extended Day Program will take place this Thursday, September 10th between 7:45 - 8:15 or 11:00am - 12:00 noon. There is a non refundable fee of $10 for one child, $15 for two children, and $20 for three or more children at the time of registration. If these times are not convenient, please call the office to ask for the form to be sent home. * Please note that this is a tentative calendar. Changes may be necessary as we progress through the year. Please reference monthly calendars for any changes. |
