We are collecting information for the 2020-21 PCO School Directory. Families must opt-in via the ECS SchoolMint online registration packet.
The PCO is working on our school-wide directory to help parents connect to ECS and each other during this disconnected year. You should be receiving your SchoolMint online registration packet from ECS now. If you want to have your student’s name published in this year’s directory, please answer “Yes” to the registration question “Would you like your child to be included in the directory”. After choosing “yes”, you can then opt-in or opt-out of all additional contact information. Include as much or little contact info as you like! PDF copies of the directory will be emailed to everyone who shares their email address (no print versions this year). If you have any questions, please reach out to directory@ecspco.org. Thanks!

Lost and Found items
Wondering where your kid’s sweatshirt, left shoe, or jacket ended up? Check the Lost & Found! Each ECS building has a system for collecting lost and found items.
Primary School: Check the large bin (deck box) on the 2nd floor. You or your student can check anytime (make sure you sign in at the office). Every few weeks, items are displayed in the 1st floor foyer.
Intermediate School: Check the collection in the main office. Every few weeks, items are displayed onstage in the cafe so that students can retrieve their lost belongings.
Middle School: Lost & found items are currently collected on the stage, behind the curtain. This will likely change – stay tuned for details.
Our amazing, hardworking volunteers often post photo displays of sorted items on the ECS Parent Facebook page HERE.
Unclaimed items are donated to the ECS uniform re-use sale, or to local charities.
Efforts are made to reunite owners with lost items that are labeled with full names. Please label your belongings of all sorts with full names. Might we suggest Emily Press Labels? They can be affixed to most any surface – even tagless shirts. Any purchase benefits the PCO, too! More information HERE.
Girl Scouts
Have a 2nd grader who’s interested in Girl Scouts? Come to an informational meeting at the Intermediate School cafe on Tuesday, October 1, 6:30-7:30, with Anna Marsland, the troop coordinator for the Girl Scouts at ECS. She will talk about the process of forming a new troop.
