Parent Survey on Class Size
The ECCC PTA has created a survey to determine
whether parents find that class sizes are too large,
 and 
if so, how they feel that impacts their child's learning experience. The survey will stay open until the last day of school.  The survey is anonymous and only the final analysis of data will be shared in the fall.

 PLEASE click on this link to take the very short survey.

 
If you have any questions, send them to [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your time and input.  It is very important!!  
Volunteers Needed!!
We still have about 10 more volunteer spots available to make the Brumby Teacher Appreciation Luncheon on Wednesday, May 7, 2014 the best ever.  Please click on the following link and help if you can.  Thanks to all who have signed up thus far!
Textbook Collection
Parents, please encourage your kids taking AP exams to turn their books into the book room as soon as their AP exam is over.  The B-Hall book room is open every day from 8:00-10:00.  If they are in an AP math or physics class, the book needs to be turned into the C-Hall book room.  That book room will be open in the morning before school.  This is a change from years past.

 

Many times students wait until all their finals are over to turn in books.  This makes our lines very long.
