Ella P. Burr School

The Board of Directors voted to modify the school calendar to make Friday, March 18 a student day instead of a workshop day. We will follow a normal Friday schedule.

If you are planning on attending the second grade concert, please check out the guidelines posted on the events page of the EPB website. Thanks.

If you haven't signed you child up for pooled testing, and would like to, please be sure to do it soon. We hope to start next week. Information went home on Friday and is also posted on the EPB website. Only those who are registered will be tested. This is a voluntary service.

Don't forget conferences at EPB will be between 3:00 and 6:30 today and Wednesday. If you did not sign up, or forgot your date and time, please give us a call. Conferences are a great way to talk about your child's progress and set some goals for the remainder of the year. We're looking forward to seeing you.

A reminder there is no school on Friday (teacher workshop) or Monday (holiday), so students have a four day weekend.

Picture day at EPB will be tomorrow! Jostens will be here from 8:00-1:00 taking student pictures. All ordering is done online, so there's no need to send money or an order form. Information is on the flier that went home last week. Smile pretty!

We are looking forward to seeing you for Open House today from 4:00-5:30. Come visit your child's teacher and classroom. Doors open at 4:00.

Open House for Ella P. Burr will be Monday, August 30 from 4:00-5:30 pm. Come visit the teachers and check out the classrooms. We're excited to see you. Masks are mandated when you enter the building.

A reminder that the Pre K (4 year old) registration deadline is Friday, July 30. Any registration after that time will depend on availability. Please contact the Central Office (794-6500) for registration materials.

Due to the extreme heat and the challenges of wearing masks EPB will dismiss at 11:00 on Tuesday. Please dress your child for the warm weather and send them with a water bottle.

With the expected record heat to start the week, please send your children with extra water and dressed in cool clothes.

In order to keep students safe and provide room for the arriving busses, parents are asked when picking up students at EPB please enter via Reed Drive (MA entrance) and turn right at the back parking lot. Parking is available in the designated areas in the back lot and along the side of EPB. Parents picking up their children should wait outside the front doors by the main office. There will be 2 handicapped parking spaces located in the front parking area. Only those requiring one of these spaces should enter EPB via the EPB driveway. All parents would then exit via the EPB driveway.

A reminder to those families remaining remote. Packet pick up is Monday (if it's a holiday it's Tuesday) from 8:00-1:30. Please remember to drop off work from the previous week in the bin in the entryway.

Next week we will be in the hybrid format, meaning "blue" classrooms will come to school on Monday and Tuesday, "white" classrooms will be here on Wednesday and Thursday, and all classrooms will be remote on Friday. Families who are remaining remote need to let their classroom teacher know so packets can be prepared (ONLY FULLY REMOTE STUDENTS). Packets for fully remote students will be available for pick up on Monday between 8 am and 3 pm.
