Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope you have had a wonderful week. It was so great to see our Robotix teams and families out at the SVVSD Parade for Public Education last weekend. Special shout out to Mrs. Mangione for heading up those teams and coordinating the parade participation. It was a really fun time for all of us.
We have a request from our Tigger Time staff. While the playground is open to the public after school hours, our after school program has it reserved until 5:00. Due to child care licensing rules we can’t have other people on the playground or field while they are still here. So please wait to enjoy the facilities until after 5:00 pm. We appreciate your understanding.
On another note, safety is a top priority for me. To that end, we are tightening up our procedures for picking up students early and will be asking for an ID for anyone that is not recognized by office staff as a parent/guardian. We apologize for any inconvenience but want to make sure we are keeping our kids safe. Along the lines of pick up, please try not to pick your kids up right before the end of the day unless it is an emergency or can’t be avoided. We understand that sometimes this isn’t possible. Besides losing class time, it is difficult to locate students and get them to the office in a timely manner when we have so many people picking up close to the end of school. Thank you for your help!
A child safety class will be facilitated at Erie Elementary School, to K-5 students, during the weeks of Oct 14 and 21. More information can be found in your child’s Friday folders. Please complete this one question survey to indicate whether or not you give your child permission to participate in this important program.
Lastly, It has come to my attention that one of our conference days conflicts with Rosh Hashanah. I apologize for this oversight. We aim to be inclusive and respectful of all of our families. If you celebrate Rosh Hashanah, please contact your child’s teacher so that when conference scheduling comes up they can prioritize your conference on one of the two days that does not conflict with this observance. We will continue to do our best to be mindful of any holidays or observances and do our best to try to schedule around them in the future. Thank you!
Have a great weekend!

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
