Getting the Message out!
The Common Core State Standards provide a
consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to
learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help
them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the
real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young
people need for success in college and careers. With American
students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be
best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

Mount EJE
The students of
Mrs. Mackey's 5th Grade Science classes wanted
their culminating science project to be creating a
volcano model that they could watch erupt.
Students brought the materials for the
project, prepared the materials to be used, and
created the model by working together. Students participated in
shaping the project with chicken wire and paper mache.
When the model was ready to go, the entire school
was invited out to watch the volcano erupt and to
act as a symbol for blasting everyone into summer
by having fun learning at EJE!

Tiger Cubs Pull Together!
The EJE 5th Grade
Classes banded together to help one of their own
classmates whose home was destroyed by the recent
tornadoes. They happily gave their snack money

Sawmill Mall Gift Certificate so Bethany could
begin replacing her things.

| School Bus Safety Month |
October is school bus safety month. Please take time out to examine these important school bus safety tips from our Transportation Department:
|
Starting immediately, we will begin to strictly
enforce our unexcused tardy and early withdrawal policy. Upon 3 tardies and/or early withdrawals, your student will be required to
serve after school detention. Tardies and early withdrawal will
automatically be marked as unexcused. A medical excuse must be
returned to your student's teacher or the school office in order
to be marked excused. All other tardies and/or early withdrawals
must have principal approval requested by letter in order to be
excused.
