Dear Parents:

Bonjour, Hola, Hello! We are excited, organized, and full of energy and off to a great start this year!

For the safety of all of our children, we are asking that each parent please review the following drop off/pick up policy and strictly adhere to it:

Circle Drive in North Parking Lot – students may be dropped off at the end of the drive and enter through the east door. You may pick up there as well however you may have to circle around until your child is outside.

• Please do not park in front of our building. This area is for our buses.

• Fence on New Haven along playground – Parents may drop off and pick up. Please do NOT leave your car unattended.

• ESC Parking Lot – Parents may only park their car and walk their children to the gate. Please do not drop your child off by the gate or allow them to cross the parking lot on their own.

September is going to prove itself to be a busy month around EIS!

First, we would like to invite all parents to our annual “Back to School” night which will be held on Thursday, September 7th at 6:30. We will meet in the gym at 6:30. We will have a French and Spanish Book Fair also so please feel free to shop. We will not have child care so please remember this event is for adults only.

Then on Tuesday, September 19th we would like to invite everyone to our “Hispanic Festival”. We will celebrate “Hispanic Heritage” month by having all our Spanish classes perform. We will have two performances and you are welcome to attend either or both.

Thursday, September 21st EIS will hold its first “NED Challenge” of the year. This is the day we challenge our K – 5th grade students to use “No English all Day long”. The students who accomplish the goal we will be recognized in a future Rise and Shine Assembly.

Saturday, September 23rd our EIS Ambassadors will depart Tulsa to begin their eight week exchange at San Louis Potosi, Mexico. Our ambassadors are well prepared and we know they will represent EIS well in our Sister City! Saturday, September 30th the Ambassadors from San Louis Potosi will arrive in Tulsa and meet their host families. Thank you to all the families who are participating in this exchange and thank you to Mrs. Emily Wood! We understand what it takes to send or host a child and we applaud your commitment and faith in us!

Wednesday, September 27th I will hold the first “School Talk Time” of the year! School Talk Time is a scheduled time I set every month for any parent to come in and visit with me. While my door is always open, I understand sometimes it may be easier or more convenient if a time is scheduled. Please feel to come by and share any ideas, concerns, questions you have with me.

Thank you for all you do for our staff and children every day! We appreciate you and thank you for making EIS your “School of Choice”.
