Good afternoon Explorers,

It’s learning time here at EGES!  We are focused and working to maximize each and every moment with your child.  :) Please take a moment to read through this message and please reach out if you have any questions to cgraf1@wcpss.net.

 

Attendance Update

Each student will be coming home with an attendance letter.  We have a new process for sending in sick notes and documentation.  Please use the attendance403@wcpss.net email address for all notes and attendance communications.  The email will be checked once a day by our Data Manager, Ms. Rodger.  Questions about attendance: email Ms. Rodger at trodger@wcpss.net

Family Engagement and Partnership Desire

Last week we attended the National Family Engagement Summit in Charlotte, NC.  This was a wonderful opportunity to learn more strategies and support for higher rates of family and school partnerships and engagement.  We are on fire here! We want to partner with you for increases in shared opportunities for learning and supporting your child.  Have ideas about what engagement or partnership looks like?  Please send them to me at cgraf1@wcpss.net.  Want to give me one on one input? Email me at cgraf1@wcpss.net or call the school to schedule an appointment time.  I would love to meet with you! Wish we would do something differently?  Please tell us!  We want to know and get better and better each day -- all in support of student success and partnership with you. 



Your Proud Principal, 

 

Dr. Graf
