Open Positions at EEHK -- If you are interested, please email the building administrator.
As the weather gets colder, please remind your child to wear appropriate clothing to school. Students that arrive prior to the doors opening at 7:45 have to wait outside unless it is below 32 degrees. The attached picture shows our policy on recess clothing according to the weather. We also require students to have pants on if it is 54 degrees or colder. Boots are required if it is below 20 degrees, and gloves and hats when it is below 32 degrees. We will have indoor recess when the feels like is 10 or below. Remember that it is typically much cooler for our morning recess than the predicted high temp.
