Mr. Lunquist's Government Class held it's annual debate this week. During the debate, students discuss current issues such as gun control, civil rights issues, foreign policy issues, and healthcare.

On Tuesday of this week, 28 students in grades 2-6 competed in the first annual ECA Elementary Spelling Bee.

We have a very high rate of illness and contact tracing at the Junior High and High School levels. For this reason, 7th through 12th Grade students ONLY will be remote learning TOMORROW, January 13th and Friday, January 14th.

Teachers and staff are back in the building today preparing for the return of our students on Wednesday, January 5th. We are truly excited to watch our students come back through the doors!

We are thankful for the completion of our first semester. We appreciate our teachers, staff and Emmanuel families for enduring the hardships and obstacles that came into the picture during this first semester.

We have reached the end of a quick first quarter and are headed into the second half of the first semester. We have several important pieces of information in this communication.

We want to thank you for your support and prayers as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 challenges. We look forward to the return of the first, third and fourth grades that have been remote this past week.

We appreciate your continued cooperation with the COVID-19 protocols. We are evaluating the situation daily. Amanda Byrd (School RN) is doing an excellent job managing the many variables presented. This message contains a few important dates and new protocols that begin Monday, September 13, 2021.

Thank you for your cooperation with the implementation of the recent COVID-19 protocols. We had to react to several positive cases and subsequent contact tracing. Proactively, remote learning has served to protect us from further infections.

I am reaching out to make you aware that we have had COVID exposure among some of our teams. After conducting contract tracing, we were able to determine that there are several players and coaches that are being quarantined based on the Clark County Combined Health District guidelines.

Due to Emmanuel experiencing the same issues that are being seen throughout the state, as well as Clark County resulting in quarantining and contract tracing, the following school schedule changes are being made for this week
