Welcome to another Parent PRO TIP!! This week's tip is all about transportation changes. We've all been there-something comes up during the day and you need to change how your child gets home. That's okay! We just have to have it in writing. If an emergency comes up and you need to change your child's way home, but they are already at school, send an email!
 
When you send an email, make sure you send it to your child's teacher and AT LEAST one of the following people: 
chartley@ebrschools.org
csavard@ebrschools.org
jcavalier@ebrschools.org
shebert1@ebrschools.org
gboudreaux@ebrschools.org
acourville@ebrschools.org
jvicknair@ebrschools.org

We know that life happens and sometimes we need to make some last minute changes. Just let us know how your child will be getting home that day (or staying in extended day) in the email and we will make sure everyone knows. 

Any changes in transportation for that day must be done before 3 pm. 

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner! We hope our Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade families will join us for Thanksgiving Lunch on Thursday, November 21st. 

This letter should be in your child's folder! Be sure to RSVP before Friday if you would like a cafeteria lunch. See you then!

​Don't forget to send $2.oo tomorrow in a ziploc bag or envelope labeled with your child's name and "Tasty Tuesday."

For years, the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program has hosted Ocean Commotion at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center. This annual event invites students from all over to visit and learn about our coast and sea. Ocean Commotion brings the animals, plants, minerals, and more of Louisiana's products from the sea and coast for students to explore in an up close and hands on way. LSU researchers and public and private organizations bring exhibits for students to see. Last Thursday, our fourth graders got to visit Ocean Commotion and see many of the things that helps to make Louisiana such an amazing place!
