RoadRunner Review: The Selma Pledge
Principal’s Message
I spent an hour the other day on a conference call with a Microbiologist who was answering questions for us principals about the Coronavirus and what we can do to keep our students and families assured that we are taking proactive measures to be aware of the unfolding situation.
One of the things that came up over and over again is how we can continue to take the precautions that we already take at ECA. We encourage handwashing regularly, Bill has been vigilant in disinfecting regularly and we are keeping ourselves in the loop with everything happening to the north of us in terms of school closures. I want you to rest assured that we are behaving proactively and working within the CDC and Lane County guidelines.
Please, please, please help us out by keeping your sick child at home. I would even extend that if you are unsure--err on the side of keeping them at home. We are looking forward to an exciting week of reading next week!! Get those pledges up this weekend!!

So students will have next week and the first week of Spring Break to complete 10 reading sessions!

SCHOOL GROWTH PLAN
We are SO excited to put measures into place to see our school grow! We want you in on the fun--so we will be entering you into a Gift Card drawing on visitation day if you refer a family who attends ECA's Visitation Day. If you can't think of any families to send our way we ask that while we set the foundation for creating growth you keep ECA in your prayers!
“Look at ALL these amazing students and teachers who finished their SELMA Pledge for ECA’s celebration of Black History Month! Each one of these students walked/ran 54 miles over the past 4 weeks to honor the folks who marched in Selma, Alabama 55 years ago. ”
