~LAST CALL For
Advertising Opportunity in the Bye Bye Birdie Program~ Send a congratulatory "call out" to your
actor in the Bye Bye Birdie Program! Advertise
your local business! Prices: 4
different ad sizes are available ($15, $25, $50 and $100--email for form
and info on sizes dimensions) Extended Deadline
is Friday, May 9th. Have
questions or need a form? Email rikimafune@gmail.com.
Thank you!
SAFETY ISSUE: PLEASE DO NOT drop off children in the back of the
school, nor on NE 75th.
It is a far too busy arterial to stop for any period of time. Also, due to Fire code, DO NOT park in
unmarked areas in the back of the school.
Your cooperation on this matter is greatly appreciated. Ms. Whitworth, Principal.
Attendance:
Because Eckstein is
such a LARGE
school, rather than calling the office, please help us by sending notes with your students for the following:
Green Cards - If your student wants to go home with a friend on their school
bus.
Late Arrivals - Excusing your student for arriving late to
school.
Early Dismissals - If
you plan to pick your student up from school during the middle of the school
day. They should bring the note to
the Attendance Office to get an early dismissal slip. At the time of their dismissal, they only need to show their
early dismissal pass to their teacher, and then leave the building. Their attendance will already be
recorded in their record. It is
extremely disruptive to interrupt a class in order to have a student sent to
the office. Thank you for your help in this matter. Carol Bristol Eckstein
Attendance Office (206)252-5014
