Eagle Edition August 1, 2022
Euclid Elementary School 2022-23
Dear Euclid Families,
We are so excited to send out the first Eagle Edition of the 2022-23 school year! Not to worry...there are still a couple weeks of slow, summer days for our students to enjoy the freedom, sunshine, and messiness of summer play. There's a bit more time for easy-going family visits, later than normal bedtimes for some, and lots and lots of time for reading our favorite books together. Our office is open as of today, Monday August 1, and the building is still being scrubbed, waxed, organized and readied for a new year of learning and growing together.
Please plan ahead for the first day of school on Wednesday, August 17 and Open House for parents/guardians on Thursday, August 25.
Can't wait to see all of our families soon.
#bettertogether
Ms. Daly, Principal
