Press Release:
January 20, 2021
Elementary Schedule and Chromebook Distribution
- First, beginning next week, all students in grades Pre-K through 5th grade will return to school on the same 4-day week schedule that was in place before Christmas break. All elementary students will attend school in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. All students will remain virtual on Wednesdays.
- Students in grades 6-12 at both TA Dugger and EHS will remain on the hybrid schedule at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and data daily and will notify you as quickly as possible when additional changes are made.
- Again, only those students in grades Pre-K through 5th grade will return to a 4-day week beginning Monday, January 25.
- The second announcement is that the additional shipment of Chromebooks that the system has been waiting on has finally arrived. Each school is working on a plan to disburse these devices to those students who have not yet received one. If your child hasn’t received a school issued device and you have not completed the ECS Device Agreement form on Skyward Family Access, it is imperative that you do so as soon as possible so that your child is able to receive his or her device without delay. A link with directions for completing this form are on the main school system web page at www.ecschools.net . To access the directions, simply scroll down on the main page and click the orange text that says, “ECS Device Agreement Instructions.”
If you have questions about the schedule or about receiving a Chromebook device, please contact the main office at your child’s school.
