We have noticed some safety concerns with our Kindergarten and PreK drop off area. This space has very limited parking. If you are interested in walking your student to their class but there is not a spot available up front, please park either along the street or in our back parking lot. It is not safe for students when cars are double parked.

Beginning Monday, we will have a staff member out from to support drop off in that area. They may ask you to either let your student out of the car to walk independently or park elsewhere and return with your student. This is an adjustment to increase student safety for our youngest learners. Thank you in advance for your support.

We're upping the ante for our November challenge. We only need to beat 92% this month, but if we can meet 94% daily attendance students will be able to choose colors for Ms. Mansfield and Ms. Janssen to dye their hair! We only need 6 more students at school every day to help us reach our goal in November. Please do everything you can to help your students get to school!

This week's percentage: 91.04% 

This is a 0.68% increase from last week, but we have some work to do in order to reach 94%. Let's pull together to reach our goals.

And we're off! Escalante students have read 162,085 minutes so far! 

That's more than 40,000 minutes read this week!! Those minutes add up and make a huge impact on the outcomes of our students. 

Students can log minutes they read at school at home, or with an adult. By logging minutes, students earn prizes including the opportunity to win a bike or a $1000 college scholarship!

As a part of our Champion Schools program, students can log their reading minutes to earn prizes for themselves, their class, and our school! Students can log minutes through their Clever app. You can help students record their minutes be using this website.
