Dear Families,
What a great start to the school year. Einstein opened with 450 students and other than a late bus, everything went very smoothly. Next Wednesday we begin early release so students will be dismissed at 2 p.m. During early release time, in the month of September, teachers and I will be working on aligning our safety net programs with the classroom curriculum and continuing our focus on minimizing the disruption to instructional time.
Please mark your calendars for the Curriculum Nights. This might be the most important school event of the year and we hope to have 100% of our families represented.
Grades 1 - 3 -- September 9th at 7 p.m. Grades 4 - 6 -- September 16th at 7 p.m.
Remember, read to your children every day and enjoy your last "official" weekend of summer.
Thanks,
Karen Bates, Principal
Albert Einstein Elementary
(425)936-2540

Playground beautified! | |
Have you seen the beautiful maps that were recently painted on the playground?

We thank you!
