This is Principal Harley with a big thank you as we enter into an amazing week of teaching and learning. Your continued support makes all the difference, and we are grateful for our incredible school community! Last Friday, we kicked off two weeks of Pink Out Fridays in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Remember, all dress-down donations throughout October will go toward hurricane relief efforts in Western NC to show our support. Looking ahead, we are excited to celebrate National Unity Day on Wednesday, October 16th. On this special day, we’ll raise awareness about bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Wearing orange on October 16th symbolizes our stand against bullying, and we invite all staff and scholars to wear their brightest orange shirts. There is no cost to dress down on this day. Don’t forget that October 21st marks the end of our first nine weeks, with report cards going home on October 29th. Let’s encourage our scholars to finish strong! Our book fair will run from October 21st to October 29th, providing an excellent opportunity for students to purchase some exciting new reading materials. Also, mark your calendars for fall picture day on October 28th. And finally, a friendly reminder—attendance matters! We need our scholars here every day, all day because every moment counts. Thank you for your ongoing support. Let’s keep the momentum going, and have a wonderful weekend!

Greetings Dolphin Families! Thank you for your understanding as we transition to our new communication platform. To stay informed, please make sure to download the ECPS App on your phone or tablet. Download for Android https://aptg.co/bk0tYK Download for iPhone https://aptg.co/RKFnBs" Once installed, select CWES as your school to receive important school-wide updates, like this one. Each teacher also has a dedicated "Room" where you can communicate directly with them (similar to Dojo). To fully access these "Rooms," you'll need a "Magic Number." Teachers have already sent the Magic Number letters home. If you haven't received yours by then, please contact your child's teacher via email. After downloading the app and entering your Magic Number, you’ll be able to access both school-wide announcements and your teacher’s communication. We will also have an information session about the app during our Title 1 Parent Night on September 25th at 5:30 PM. *Please ensure your phone number is up-to-date in our student information system, as it must remain accurate for you to stay connected. If your number changes, please notify our data manager so we can update your records and keep you linked to the ECPS communication app. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us stay connected!
