If you are not able to attend the opening meeting I will record it and post it on my Principal's Page.

After my meeting, each teacher will run 3, 25 minute, sessions for parents.  Each session will contain the same information, so if you have siblings attending our school you are able to meet with multiple teachers.  The sessions will run: 6:35-7:00, 7:05-7:30, and 7:35-8:00.  Please keep in mind that these sessions are for general information about classes, they are not for individual conferences.  You will be able to access the teachers' zoom meetings via their teacher pages. 

All Specials' teachers will be meeting together in one zoom meeting (3 different sessions as stated above), so if you want to hear about Art, Music, Health/Phys Ed, and Computers/World Language you can access them via Mrs. Cotter's webpage.

Mrs. Masella will also host open zoom meetings and they can be found on her webpage as well. 

To access all teacher webpages go to our school's website at www.es.sapublicschools.com, click on Staff Directory, then the small Earth icon next to their name.  This will bring you to their website. 

Since we have our Back To School Night, and teachers would like to prepare for the meetings, there will be no student support time or parent suport time on Tuesday. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening.

Sincerley,
Sean Dunphy

Dear Parents/Guardians:


For those of you who have chromebooks from us with a USB charger, PLEASE READ:

USB-C is an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power. The new Chromebooks have 2 USB-C ports.  One for power and one for data.  


It is extremely important that you only use the USB-C charger in the power plug.  I've attached a picture to this email to show you the correct input.  Plugging the power into the data port could result in damage to the Chromebook.


Please be extremely vigilant when plugging these in.  The power plug has a small light next to it, is marked with an electric plug icon and is on the same side as the audio input.

Thanks for your attention in this matter.

Don't plug power into the wrong port or you will break the Chromebook

Sincerely ~ Sean Dunphy
