Hello El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies Learning Community,
Thank you to the families who donated all the delicious fruits & vegetables for the Kindness & Diversity event this past Thursday! Thank you to our volunteers who helped cut up and deliver to the classrooms. Students enjoyed the variety of fruits and vegetables that were shared! The curiosity and inquisitive nature of the student was a joy to see and hear! Their thoughts on the flavor of fennel brought me a chuckle.
Update on Gratitude Week, November 12 - 15-, 2024. On Tuesday, we are kicking off Gratitude Week by spreading gratitude like bubbles. We are still in need of more supplies and donations of bubble supplies will be gratefully received! More volunteers for the afternoon bubble fest will also be helpful so if you are a cleared volunteer and received the separate email from Community Rep. Mrs. Schiffman to participate, please respond asap. No donations or parent volunteers are required for your child to participate - all students will participate in all activities.
Thank you all for sharing and spreading kindness, diversity and gratitude at our school!
The Parent Center Training on Wednesday at 8:15am in the Auditorium will be the next session of the Every School Safe Series. The topic is now revised to Substance Use Awareness/Fentanyl. An added topic is the LAUSD Phone Free Policy that begins in January 2025 as we return from winter break. The final topic of this meeting will be the Volunteer Training. If you are only interested in the Volunteer Training, please note that the first two topics will vary in duration depending on the discussion participation and so if you leave before or arrive too late, you will be asked to attend an alternate session.
For families who attend El Oro Way Charter through the charter permit, this is the final reminder that Unified Enrollment On-Time Application window closes on Friday, November 15, 2024. If there are any siblings who you wish to bring to our school through this process, they only qualify for the sibling priority for seats that may be available if they apply during the “on-time” period.
Our hardworking PTA is holding a Book Fair and the Preview Day will be Fri, Nov 15th for all classes. Be sure to set up their EWallet if you wish. The Bookfair will be held the following week for all classes. Parents may come in to shop after school with their children on Monday until 3:15pm and Tuesday till 2:15pm. Parents will need to pick up their children first, then enter through the gate by the Main Office once 1st grade students are dismissed. It usually takes 1st grade about 10 minutes and so starting at approximately 2:40pm, parents will be able to enter the campus with their children to walk to the Bookfair in the Library. Students are not to leave the playground or classrooms to go directly to the Library to meet their parents. Again, parents are to pick up the children and then go to the Book fair together. The Playground Gate will not be available for parents and children to enter for the Bookfair. The gate to enter campus will be the gate by the Main Office.
Best,
Ms. Choi, Principal
