Good morning/afternoon parents. This is Mr. Nuss, Principal of Elliott Point Elementary School. Yesterday our school went into a brief precautionary “lockdown” due to an unscheduled alarm activation at our school. It was quickly determined to be a false alarm and our additional safety protocols were lifted. An inspection of the alarm system found that the activation occurred due to a faulty sensor. I wanted to assure you that the system has been inspected and corrective action taken. We apologize for the brief interruption this caused to our regular routine. Safety is our top priority. Thank you and have a good day.

EP Parents, FIC cards for this school year are coming home today. It is a two sided form so please take a moment to review over them and send them back completed as soon as possible. This card is extremely important and needs to be corrected accordingly in order to receive proper funding for our school. Picture day is tomorrow! We can not wait to see those great looking Eagles tomorrow.
