ECH SAFETY DAY SUCCESS!

Last week, excitement filled the air as our Early Childhood students participated in our annual Safety Day, a morning filled with education and admiration for those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting. 

The Melbourne Police and Fire Departments visited the Lower School and spoke about their work in our community, keeping safe when encountering strangers, and fire safety tips. 

Our little ones were wide-eyed with joy as they explored police cars and fire trucks, checked out some of their super-cool gear, and learned about how our everyday heroes help keep our community secure.

Percussion students participated in a drumming workshop and all students toured the Olmstead Gardens -- created by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. -- and enjoyed breathtaking views of the Singing Tower,with its 60-bell Carillon. Bok Tower Gardens is a national historic landmark on the Great Florida Birding Trail.

HELPFUL GUIDE TO NAVIGATING ONCAMPUS



Parents, CLICK HERE to check out this resource to help your student get the most out of their onCampus account.

LAPTOP LOANERS

Parents of students who check out a day loaner device (laptop) will receive an email with the reason the student gave for needing the loaner. If the student fails to return the device by the end of that school day (3:00 pm), a $5 fee will be charged to the student's account. The number of devices available to loan students is limited and devices not returned in a timely fashion must be taken out of rotation for charging. Students should bring a charger with them each day. The IT department does not have spare chargers for students to use or borrow.
