Earn the opportunity to holiday shop for free at……
Ettrick Elementary’s Holiday Hero Shop
We are excited to welcome your students to school on time, all day, every single day! Attending school regularly helps your child feel better about school and themselves. It also earns you an opportunity to shop at our Holiday Hero Market! We will be doing holiday assistance a little different this year. This year holiday assistance will be tied into the ABC’s of Communities In Schools. The ABCs are defined as Attendance, Behavior and Course Completion. ( Academics)
This year, if your child misses 3 days or less of school between the first day of school and December 15, receives 1 or less office referrals, and holds at least a C/2 average, you ( parent/guardian) earn an opportunity to shop at our Holiday Hero Market! (Please note: 3 tardies= 1 absence 3 early dismissals= 1 absence) This will take place December 19th at Ettrick Elementary from 5:00pm-7:00pm.
So how do you ensure that you will get a spot to shop?
- Attendance: Be Here Everyday and all day, Ready and On time!
- Behavior: strive to be a true Ettrick Trojan Hero by following the HERO motto: Hard working, Enthusiastic in my Learning, Respectful and Organized.
- Course Completion( academics): Continue to help your Ettrick Trojan Hero to be enthusiastic in their learning and strive to be the best student they can be by achieving in academics!
If your student(s) meet these requirements, parents/ guardians will shop first. After those parents have shopped we will open up the shop to the second set of requirements. After December 15th you will receive a color and a time for you to come and shop. Your color indicates when you will be able to shop and which requirements your student(s) met . If you do not meet any of these requirements you will shop at a different time.
We will be supplying one or two items that you can shop for, for your current ETTRICK student only. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of requests and high demand of gifts we will only be able to supply one/two gifts per current Ettrick Elementary students .
If your child is unable to attend school regularly and on time, please talk with Emily Davidson, CIS Coordnator , and she may be able to provide you with resources and asstiance .
