Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Leadership Message

In today's Gospel, Jesus asks the disciples a thought-provoking question: "What are you looking for?" He's inviting them, and us, to think beyond the surface and consider the things deep in our hearts.

Take a moment to think about your own heart. What brings you joy? What are your dreams? What fills you with happiness?

Let's reflect on how we can be like Jesus and spread our light to others. God made each of us uniquely special with our own amazing talents. We can use those talents to help others and make our world brighter.

As we journey through this week, let's remember to be like the disciples and look for ways to shine our lights. Whether it's being kind or helping someone in need, we can make a big difference!

Wishing you a week filled with the warmth of God's love!

Important School Information

Absence Reporting

Please submit your child's absences in PowerSchool, and also notify your teacher with a Dojo message or a note sent with your child.

Please refer to the EICS Parent Technology Handbook for instructions on how to report you child's absence, early departure, leave & return or multiple day absence.

For any last minute Early Departures, please call the office before you arrive so we can make arrangements for your child to come to the office for pick up.

For accuracy and tracking purposes, absence coding in PowerSchool is to be submitted by parents, not teachers.
