ning Bobcats,

I hope you were able to stay warm today!  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in their spectacular holiday outfits this week and sharing some yuletide joy with each other.  I love seeing all of the awesome friendships in action at ERA.

General Updates and Reminders

  • We Want to Hear From You!

    As part of our ongoing commitment to belonging, communication, and strong school-family partnerships, we are inviting all families to complete our Campus Family Experience Survey. Your feedback helps us understand what is going well and where we can continue to grow—especially in areas like school climate, communication, Good Things, Social Contracts, and student support.

The survey takes just a few minutes, and your input directly informs our next steps.

Thank you for partnering with us to make ERA better every day!
