Dear Easterly Parkway families!

It is that time of year again! As we kick off the school year, we leap right into the Fun Run! We hope that you will join us on Monday, September 28th (rain date Tuesday September 29th) to cheer on our amazing kids as they run, roll, and walk around the track!

The Fun Run is an uplifting and empowering event for the community, made all the better by a soundtrack picked out by the kids. If you are able, please consider donating to the Fun Run, it is our biggest fundraiser of the year and makes so many of our community events possible throughout the year! Parent, family, and friend donations make up 70% of the total raised each year, with local businesses donating the remaining 30%.

Parent letters and envelopes have been distributed with information about how to donate. If you have a business or know of a business willing to make a contribution, please reach out to [email protected]. You can find the class schedule and additional information at the Fun Run website - https://ep.scasd.org/our-school/parent-teacher-organization-pto/fun-run-2025.

As always, kindest wishes, and let's have fun!

This message is to let you know that our 2nd-5th grade classes will be taking the MAP reading and math assessments next week.

We will have students complete the reading test on Tuesday, September 8th and the math test on Thursday, September 10th.

The assessments will be taken on the student's chromebooks at school. If a student is absent one either of the days, we will have them complete the test at another time!

This data we collect from this assessment will help us to learn more about your student's academic strengths and what areas we can support them in their continued growth! If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Jaymie Ramey at [email protected].

I fear we need to talk about the drop-off line. 😂🚗

I fear you really do need to pull all-llll the way up.

I fear the construction zone is, in fact, still a construction zone. 🚧

And I fear that if your Eagle needs a little extra help getting out of the car this morning, you’re going to need to park in the lot rather than stage a full goodbye production in the drop-off lane. 😂💙

Pull up. Watch for construction. Park if you need extra time.

We’ve got this, EP! 🦅
