Rosh Hashanah is Everywhere!
Every ECP classroom is exploring Rosh Hashanah in their way. Some explorations look similar and some are different! Each child experiences the holidays in their own way and we are excited to share this with them.

Speech Screening
In a couple weeks, speech therapist Tess Richter will begin screening students ages 3-6 for any speech concerns. A permission form was sent in backpacks last Wednesday — it is also attached below. Please return by 9/14.
Please double check the Discovery Program dates as there are a number of days classes will not meet. If your child is ordinarily a 2 pm pick-up, their Discovery class pick-up time is 3 pm. We advise parents to arrive a few minutes early because it is necessary to enter the ECP building for pick up. Children signed up for the 3:30 pm carpool will be at Schultz Circle as usual.
The afternoon Schultz Circle carpool is 3:30-3:45 pm Monday-Thursday and 2:25-2:45 pm on Fridays. After 3:45 pm (M-Th) or 2:45 pm (F) your child will be taken to aftercare and there will be a charge.
