Dear Parents/Guardians
It’s been a great first two weeks of school! As we settle in, we are tightening up some of our procedures. I know there might be some changes for you to get used to. Please know that we make all decisions based on what is best for students, including before and after school procedures to ensure student safety. Please take a moment to review our slightly revised drop off and pick up procedures and let us know if you have any questions.
Bee/Wasp Update
As many of you have probably noticed, there has been an influx of wasps and hornets around the neighborhood this summer. Unfortunately, they have found some great places to nest at our school. Our district operations team has been working diligently the past few days to use natural remedies to mitigate the problem at Erie Elementary as well as some other schools in the district. Thanks to their response, we should notice a decrease in the activity. If your child is feeling any anxiety around the wasps and hornets, please let me know so we can help them to feel supported.
Please take our counseling survey
Mrs. Chute, our amazing school counselor, is asking for feedback to inform her work this year. Please take a moment to fill out a short survey. Thank you.
Back to School Night is Wednesday, August 28th!
Please join your child’s teacher as they share important information about their class. There will be two sessions to accommodate families with multiple children:
Session 1 – 5:00-5:25
Session 2 – 5:30-6:00
The same information will be shared in each session. This evening is geared towards parents so you are encouraged to leave children at home if possible.
Lightning Procedures
Just an update about our procedures when there is lightning. You may have noticed that we’ve had some afternoon storms move through. Please know that if there is any danger to our students we will place a hold to keep them inside until it is safe to release them. If you would like us to get your child, we are happy to do so.

PTCO Announcements
The Jog-a-thon is Erie Elementary School’s only fundraiser for the year. In this fun school-wide event, students gather pledges from family and friends, promising to run laps in return for their support. The money raised goes directly to benefit the school and its programs. Anything from field trips to supplies and learning software for classrooms, to providing dinner to the teachers on long conference days.
As the event approaches, information will be provided on how to sign up for Boosterthon, the platform we use to track pledges and donations. Ms. Apple, the gym teacher, will help prepare the kids for the run.
There will also be classroom prizes awarded on certain days leading up to the event, so be sure to keep an eye on the principal’s newsletter and our social media channels for updates.
The jog-a-thon will be on October 2 at Erie Elementary School, we invite all parents and families to come out and cheer on their kiddos as they run. A detailed schedule for the day will be shared closer to the event.
Kind Regards,
Micah Frank, PresidentJenna Bullard, Vice PresidentErie Elementary School PTCO www.eesptco.com
