Another school year is underway! Welcome back ECPS students and families! 

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

We are off to a wonderful start at Chinook Park. The first few days have been filled with energy, smiles, and excitement as students settled back into routines and reconnected with friends and teachers. 

This week, we kicked things off with a warm and successful first day of school and gathered together Friday for our Quick Start of the Year Assembly, where we celebrated being part of the ECPS community and set the tone for the months ahead. 

A special thank you goes out to Mme. Katie and Mme. Ingrid's class for making our back to school assembly a success! Another shout out to our amazing staff, who worked tirelessly to create welcoming and engaging learning spaces for students. Their dedication has helped set the stage for a successful year ahead. 

We are excited for all the learning, growth, and community events to come, and we look forward to sharing this journey with you and your children.
