Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope this message finds you well as we move through another exciting and productive week at Erie Elementary!
This week, our students have been engaged in wonderful learning experiences, from hands-on science experiments to creative writing projects. It is always inspiring to see their curiosity and enthusiasm grow each day. We encourage you to ask your child about what they are learning and celebrate their achievements at home.
As always, please reach out with any feedback, questions, or concerns. Have a wonderful weekend!
