EC Principal Letter
Dear ANCS Elementary Families,
I hope you are all doing well on this beautiful spring day.
Please remember to continue to drop your child off for school each day at the same location we have been using all year. Do not pull all the way to the front of the building. When some cars do this, it blocks the flow of traffic and causes congestion. It also blocks the two crosswalks, which is a safety concern. Additionally, please help your child to be ready to get out of the car when Ms. King or I open the door. This means having the backpack easily accessible, shoes on, water bottle in hand, etc. Thank you for your help with making drop off run smoothly each day!
A word from Nurse Hicks about medication at school. Though the mornings continue to be a little chilly, spring is technically here. Nurse Hicks has requested that students who have asthma be sure to have their inhaler here at school. She also recommends that these students use their inhaler before recess or PE to abate possible symptoms and risk of a serious asthma attack, especially if it is a code yellow or red day. We announce the air quality each morning during our morning meeting. For students with seasonal allergies and who are in need of over-the-counter medication, you need to administer the medication at home prior to school. Nurse Hicks cannot give students allergy medication at school. As a reminder, please do not send any medication (over-the-counter or prescription) to school in your child’s backpack in anticipation of him/her/them taking it at school without assistance from Nurse Hicks. It is very important that all medication be stored in the nurse’s office at school and administered with adult supervision. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to Nurse Hicks directly.
Finally, Friday is opening night for our spring musical, Into the Woods, Jr. Each year Mr. Dewey leads our students in putting on an amazing performance, and we all look forward to another great show this year. We hope to see you this weekend! Best of luck to the cast and crew. The showtimes are below and you can get tickets here:

As always, I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I hope you have a wonderful remainder of your week and a restful spring break the week of April 6.
Wishing you well,
Lara
