PrincipalPrincipal's Message

Ms. PointerHello Einstein Families,

  

I hope you have been staying warm and enjoying the winter weather!

 

I know many of you are curious as to the district's plans for make-ups days. Unfortunately, they have not yet communicated their plans in this regard. As soon as that information is available, I will pass it along to you.

 

I hope to see you all at the PTSA General membership meeting this Thursday. 

 

Have a fantastic week!  

Melissa Pointer
