It has been another wonderful week so far!! I am very proud of our students and the "good choices" they are making each day! I have had over 50 students "caught" being good! Emanuel Swedenborg once said, “Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things, from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do.” Let's continue to encourage our children to find that inner desire to do what is right simply because it is right. It feels good to be "caught" in the act of kindness, so let’s start here as we continue to mold our little ones into the best students they can be!
As always, when a new year starts, there are several reminders that we need to make. First, let's start with morning traffic. As a staff, we always want to put the safety of the children first, and if we work together we can make drop off as easy and as hassle-free as possible.
1.) Remember that there is NO parking in the traffic lanes (if you want to park, please go to the lower lot and park there)
2.) Have your child ready to get out of the car (backpack in car with them-not in trunk)
3.) Please stay in the 1st and 3rd lanes only
4.) The middle lane is the safe lane, and children can walk all the way down to Coach Riley and then cross, but if they decide to cross where their car is stationed, please have them stop and look (double checking it's safe)
Thank you so much for helping us. Car lines can be tricky, and we just want everyone to get inside safely.
Tardies:
I would like to remind you all that school does start promptly at 7:45 a.m. Students are tardy if they are not in class when the bell rings. Our teachers get started first thing, in order to utilize every minute of instructional time. Please be understanding and considerate of their hard work, and have your child at school on time. Thank you so much for helping us on this matter! Your child’s education is very important to us!

A lot of exciting changes are happening to make the PTO at Ezell-Harding the very best it can be. We have lots of new families who have joined the EHCS family. We welcome all of you and encourage you to become an active participant in your child(ren)'s school. Studies have shown that children will be more successful if parents are involved in their education. You might ask, what does it mean to be a PTO member? The answer: That depends on you. You can be a member in name only, or you can become an active member. We invite you to become an active participant in your student's education by being an active participant in the PTO. Parents and grandparents, we need your help! Be an active participant! The level of involvement is up to you! There are lots of ways to be involved, and the PTO would love to have your help! Thank you in advance from the PTO!
