A Note from Mr. McKean
Greetings Eccles Community!
In an effort to ensure that our families all receive our district-wide communication at the same time, I am shifting away from sending out Eccles ‘Friday’ News and will now be sending out Eccles ‘Wednesday’ news weekly. I hope that this change will provide you with the ease of finding the information you need each week.
Week 2 is off to a great start! Once again, it is wonderful to see our kids in person. While remote learning may have had some benefits for some, there is no doubt that it simply does not take the place of teaching and learning in a face to face setting for most of our students and staff. It is our top priority to make sure we continue to do whatever we can to keep in-person school going. This may at times feel a bit restrictive so I thank you for your patience as we tightly adhere to the state guidance with this priority in mind.
Warm Regards,
Mr. McKean
Outdoor Eating
Yesterday we kicked off all K-6 lunches taking place in our Courtyard Cafeteria. The kids responded well to this new adventure in their school day as did the staff. With the exception of battling with a few outdoor critters (bugs), lunches outside are going well. In the near future we are scheduled to receive a 40’x40’ tent that will adequately cover all tables. We are taking this new practice one day at a time to see how we do with shifting guidance and shifting weather.
