This week, ECC is celebrating the power of kindness! Together, let’s create a world where every little act of care and support helps us grow stronger as a community.
When we teach kindness early, we plant seeds that grow into empathy, teamwork, and love. Let’s show our little ones how big their hearts can be.
Monday, November 11th is Veterans Day! Wear RED, WHITE, and BLUE!
Water has overtaken many of the roads in the Northwest School District today. Currently, the Big River is set to crest at 28’ at 6:00 p.m. tonight. We would not have time for the water to recede and for us to have adequate time to check roads before morning buses. Therefore, we are going to have another (Alternative Method of Instruction) AMI day Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024.
Dear Northwest Families,
We have been monitoring the flooding and watching the forecast of the Big River. Several roads in the district are impassable and the Big River will crest during school hours tomorrow. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have an Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) day November 6, 2024.
During today's PD, staff participated in a Synergizing activity where they painted flags to hang outside of classrooms and offices!
Just a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL on November 4th & 5th!
It's been a busy week in Ms. Shara's class! This week Ms. Shara's little leaders synergized and sang a pumpkin rhyme! They also talked about their families and added their family pictures to their leadership binders!
Upcoming November Spirit Days!
Thanks to these ECC leaders who noticed the trash in our field and immediately asked if they could go clean it up! 💙
