El Oro Way Update - 8.16.2024

Hello El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies,


The first week back to school has been busy for all! The students have been hard at work and have acclimated well to their new schedules and environments. It’s SO good to see them all here! 


Thank you to all the parents who have already begun to turn in the annual forms back to the office. Please turn in the paperwork by the end of this week. 


Many students are arriving late - please note that the gates close at 8:00am. As we enter the next week, make revisions as needed to your family’s morning routines so that students can arrive on time to start the day with their classmates.


The School Volunteer Application lists September 28th as the first Volunteer Training, but the correct date is September 29th, following the PTA’s Friendship Breakfast. We apologize for this error.


Throughout the year, there are several parent informational sessions and one of the series will be the Every School Safe Series with five sessions. The first will be on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 8:15am in the Auditorium and the topic is “Creating Welcoming Environments.”  Please see attached flyer for additional details.


Back to School Night will be happening this week on Thursday, August 22, 2024. There will be some presentations in the Auditorium at 5:30pm and classrooms will be open for visits 6:00pm - 7:00pm. Habitat will be open from 5:30pm - 6:30pm. Please see attached flyer for details.


FRIDAY WILL BE MINIMUM DAY DISMISSAL - 12:53pm for all students. Students will now eat brunch during the school day. This is a change from previous years. All students will have a 35 minute brunch instead of a 20 minute recess on Minimum Days so if your child packs their snack/lunch, please adjust accordingly.
