FALL CELEBRATION
This year East Elementary party day is Thursday, October 27th. To celebrate we
will have a costume parade beginning at 2:00pm. Students will parade out the front
door and around the block down Washington Ave. to Jefferson Ave. to Central Ave.
to Ridgewood to Washington again. Costumes must be brought to school and worn
over clothing. We will begin getting ready at 1:30pm. Costumes must follow school
dress code guidelines, no violent attire, no swords, or weapons of any kind will be
permitted. Any costume that does not follow the appropriate guidelines will not be
allowed to be worn. Following the parade we will be playing school wide bingo
and refreshments will be served in the classroom. We will need parent volunteers
so please make sure you have your Urbana City Schools Volunteer/Release Form
filled out and returned before party day. (Please get those to us in time for
processing to be completed at Central Office.) We hope you can come join the fun, if
you are just watching the parade outside, a volunteer form is not required.

to low grades and missing assignments? Once you log in to your Parent Access account, use
the “Alerts” link on the left hand side to set the alerts you wish to have receive via email.
The “Missing Assignments” alert will notify you any time a teacher marks an assignment as
missing. The “Low Assignments Marks” alert allows you to set a threshold for low marks for
each class. Simply check the box next to “Low Assignment Marks”, click the “Set Low Marks

your child’s school or contact Kelli Marsh, Director of Technology Integration at 653-1490 [email protected].
