Attendance
SAFE VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
To ensure the safety and improve the security of our Students and Staff in the School City of East Chicago, an electronic Visitor's Log will be used in all building beginning March 2018.
Visitors must provide the main office with a valid and not expired form of photo identification that must display full name and date of birth. The information is scanned against the National Sex Offender Data Base. If no match is found, the system will pint a visitor's sticker with picture identifying them as a appropriate visitor. The system only cans name, date of birth and photo. No other personal information is saved.
The identification card you provide cannot be expired, must have photograph, full name and date of birth.
If system raises question about the background, school administration will take the necessary steps to insure the appropriateness of each individual's visit.

Character Trait for the month of January

Character Trait for the month of February
Welcome back from the “Polar Vortex” & here’s hoping that all stayed safe & warm!!! The month of February is dedicated to the character trait of Dependability. The definition is as follows:
- Dependability: Fulfilling what I consented to do, even if it means unexpected sacrifice.
As parents, we have all had to make unexpected sacrifices in order to raise our children, work jobs, maintain households, and just function in everyday life. Our children need to learn that, right now, their main job is completing their education. It is imperative that they know you, as their parent(s), are depending on them to do what they are expected to do when they come to school. School personnel depends on them to follow the established academic & behavioral expectations. Rightfully so, our students can and should be able to depend on ALL of us to ensure that they have what they need to be as successful as possible during their educational journey. This is where the home/school connection is crucial!!!
There will always be a need for “us” to teach our children that when they have obligations, they should strive to meet and, when they can, exceed those established expectations. The sooner they learn to keep their word, study & work hard, while respecting themselves as well as others… Success is sure to be theirs!! Take some time out this month and speak with your children about the importance of being able to be counted on to do their best. See if they can give you examples of ways they can show themselves dependable, or point out the times when you have seen them demonstrate the character trait of dependability. The more “hands on deck” the better, when it comes to giving our students the best educational experience possible. From our Washington Elementary family to yours… Stay safe & stay warm!!!!!!!!
