Colchester Elementary

At Colchester Elementary School we cherish and challenge every child every day. We have a very strong focus on academics, the arts, physical fitness and most importantly on character education. Welcome to our website - a celebration of what it means to be a 'Colchester Kid'.

We would be very happy to meet you in person, to show you our school and to answer your questions; please call ahead to arrange a school tour.

We are currently accepting registrations for Kindergarten for the 2010-2011 school year.

If your child will be 5 years old by March 1, 2011 you are eligible to enroll him or her in Kindergarten.  Please feel free to drop by the school for a tour or to pick up a registration package.

We will be hosting an open house for parents who are interested in registering their children in kindergarten for the 2010-2011 school year. All family members are welcome. We will be providing school tours and the opportunity to meet some of our staff, especially Miss Powell, our kindergarten teacher. The open house will be held on Thursday, February 25^th from 7:00 until 8:00PM.

There will be no school on the following days:

Friday, February 12- School Closure Day

Monday, February 15- Family Day

With the H1N1 virus now circulating in the community, it is expected that all students and staff with influenza-like illness will stay home until they are symptom free and feeling well enough to return to school and participate in normal activities. 

Visit the Parents section of the EIPS website for up-to-date information about EIPS' H1N1 preparedness plans. The H1N1 Resources for Parents section also includes specific information for parents and families about H1N1 and influenza including some Frequently Asked Questions.
