Another school year has begun! Welcome back ECPS students and families!  

Et c’est parti pour une nouvelle année scolaire! Bienvenue aux élèves et familles d’ECPS! 

As we begin a new school year, we wanted to let you know that the first few days at Chinook Park were smooth! It was great to see all of the excitement on the first morning and all of the supportive media interviews. We are so proud that our students reported loving Math the most! 

The energy in our hallways, classrooms and on the field is positive, as usual. We’d like to express a big shout out to our staff who have worked very hard to prepare for a successful first week!

Communication Home 

This year, teachers will continue to communicate with families on a consistent basis. Our staff will share what is happening in their classroom and students learning in a few different ways. Multiple teachers will continue to use agendas, in a notebook format. Classes who don’t use agendas will receive a weekly update via email.  

 

Drop-off, pickups and parking

A huge thank you, un gros merci, to parents who are following our before and after school procedures! 

• Supervisors will be present on the field at 7:45. 
• A bell rings at 7:57 am for students to head to their designated entrance and classes will begin at 8:00 am. 

• No parking in the crosswalks or bus zone. 
• No student drop-offs/pick-ups in the staff parking lot. 
• School ends at 2:35 pm Monday-Thursday (12:01 Friday).  
• If you are running late and won’t make it in time for the bell at 7:57 am, please bring your child to the front office doors to check your child in and alleviate any attendance issues. 
• This heightened awareness will increase and ensure our students’ safety. We appreciate your support!
