IMPORTANT UPDATE TO SCHOOL CHOICE VOUCHER & SGO |
|

We have exciting news! In the recently passed state budget, Governor Holcomb and the Indiana General Assembly made educational options more affordable for families across our state. Starting with the 2021-22 school year, students of Hoosier families whose household income is 300% of Federal Free or Reduced-Price Meals guidelines or less now qualify to receive financial aid to help cover the cost of private school tuition. To learn more about the expansion of educational options for Hoosier families, contact Nerissa Foor. |

MEDICATION PICK-UP - If your student has medication kept in the Health Coordinator's office, please pickup the medication by/on the last day of school, May 25th. Any medication, inhaler, epi-pen, etc. that is not picked up will be disposed of at the end of the school year. Contact Kellie Snowden with questions.

NEW ELEMENTARY CAMPUS UPDATES |

We need your used comforters! As we prepare to move some items, we are needing old comforters to help us keep our dry/erase boards from being scratched. You can donate these at the East Campus at your earliest convenience. After the move, they will be donated to charity. |

Thank you everyone who has signed up to help us move! Here are some additional needs for this summer:
We now know we will have a need for volunteers at the end of June in the new campus. Please check the link below for available shifts.

We are looking for some additional folks who are handy, could bring a drill or other tools, and help us to remove some dry erase boards at the East Campus. Please, no children for this work. |

WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COVID-19 |
|
|
It is important that all COVID-related situations continue to be reported to campus principals or campus health coordinators, even during virtual learning. Quarantine timelines can span anywhere from 7 to 24 days or more, so even when a family experiences COVID over a brief virtual school period or school break, student quarantines do not necessarily end when school resumes. Please contact campus principals or campus health coordinators to report any of the following: 1) Students experiencing COVID symptoms; 2) Household members experiencing COVID symptoms.
|
|
COVID SCREENING GUIDE FOR PARENTS - Every morning, parents should utilize this daily screening tool from the Indiana State Department of Health to determine whether or not to send your child to school.
|
|
COVID LINE FOR REPORTING - We have a dedicated phone line at ECS for reporting a positive COVID case in your family. If an ECS student or immediate family member receives a positive COVID test result, we're asking that you call the following number: 812-470-5423. That phone will be monitored by a rolling member of our administrative staff who will instruct you on next steps.
