Happy Friday!

I hope that you’ve all had a great week! Our students have been working hard to learn, but they have also been working hard to make positive behavior choices and earn HEART coins! We will have a HEART coin celebration on December 19^th. Students with at least 25 HEART coins will be asked to attend. Students have been earning HEART coins since the beginning of the year by going ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations and showing HEART! Ask your child how they earned a HEART coin this week!

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Rock Region Metro of Little Rock.

We are grateful for this opportunity, as it will provide our students and teachers with many options when selecting field trip destinations.

From the Nurse’s Office

The cold and flu season is here, but throughout the school year we must always be mindful of the health of our students, our students’ families, and our staff members.

Please do not send your child to school with fever, vomiting, or other signs of contagious illness.
Please use the “24 Hour Rule” and do not send them back to school until they have been fever/symptom free WITHOUT MEDICATION for 24 hours.
If your student is sent home with fever or vomiting, he/she should not return until they have been free of fever or vomiting for 24 hours.

If you have any questions, please email Nurse Bynum at Kimberly.bynum@estemschools.org.
