ECS - Friday Flyer 02.19.21

PICS OF THE WEEK

Generations of Eagles students, parents, staff, alumni, and donors braved the cold weather to be part of ECS history by signing and praying over the last beam that will be over the main entrance to the new elementary campus!

Another "first" in ECS history! For the first time ever, ECS will have a softball team! The girls started working on fundamental skills at open gyms last weekend.

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.

Screening Tool for Parents

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.
