It's back to school... and welcome to the Easton Country Day School newsletter! We look forward to keeping you connected with the latest news, upcoming events, and all the wonderful things your children are learning, creating, and accomplishing

The ECDS community is fortunate to have an outstanding Parent-Teacher Organization. Their efforts helped make our building an even better space for learning and we could not be more grateful. Click below to learn all about their accomplishments!

Easton Country Day School co-founder Jody Smith retired at the end of last school year. Jody helped establish ECDS while searching for a better educational option for her own children, both of whom remain part of the ECDS community: Kim McMullen as a teacher and Rebecca Soule, former ECDS counselor who has established nearby Soulstice Farm. Jody’s leadership helped shape ECDS into the special place it is today, and countless students have fond memories of her entertaining and unique history lectures and hands-on science labs.

Any ECDS graduate will tell you that making it to Mrs. Smith's class was an important rite of passage in their school journey. Jody's depth of knowledge has always been an invaluable resource. Fortunately, teaching has always been Jody’s true love, and she will continue to teach our students History and Science. We truly cannot thank Jody enough for her years of dedication to leading ECDS, and look forward to many more classroom memories.

Bailey Barno-Moss wears many hats, and they're all oriented around the safety of our school and care for our community. We are excited to pass along this month's news from our School Nurse and Director of Health, Safety and Human Resources, Ms. Bailey.

From a Nurse's Office FAQ to links to all medical forms, go to the Nurse's Office page on our website:

We are proud to highlight an ECDS parent who has has taken the knowledge gained from years of advocating, supporting and navigating her way through her son’s medical journey, and started a journey of her own. Neda has created a business with the goal of helping other families dealing with their child’s complex medical, developmental, behavioral, and special needs: Neda Family Operations. Neda DeLuca is the mother of Waseem, a brilliant and creative fifth grader starting his third year at ECDS, and Alina, a sweet and intelligent first grader starting her second year at our school. Over the past several years, researching providers, dealing with insurance, coordinating appointments, and so many other aspects of supporting a child with needs became a full time job for Neda. Out of necessity, Neda developed systems and processes to help her family on their journey. Her goal now is to take her knowledge and help families who may be feeling overwhelmed and on their own as they care for the most important people in the world. Neda Family Operations is dedicated to helping families in a wide variety of ways. Compassionate work such as Neda Family Operations is so valuable, and we are so proud to have Neda, Peter, Waseem and Elina as part of the ECDS community.



We love celebrating the many ways our ECDS families contribute to the community! If you or your family are involved in a business, organization, project, cause, or anything at all you’d like us to highlight, please reach out below.

Easton Country Day offers a variety of after school programming, with programs as unique as our school. In addition to the core After School daily program and Homework Club, which runs Monday-Thursday, we offer a variety of activities throughout the year.
