Earlier this week, KVR-3 buildings had more red than orange walking the halls. It may have included logos for Christmas, the KC Chiefs, or the StL Cardinals; but on Wednesday it was all La Plata Bulldog red. We are proud to stand beside La Plata Schools. Thank you KVR-3 students and staff for showing your support--wearing your red and donating your green!

Thank you Tigers for the Cash donations This week to “Bucks for Bulldogs“

This week ECLC staff put on a professional development training for our Ecco Ride bus drivers that serve ECLC students. Drivers learned about our Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) program used on campus. They were taught how to build positive relationships and discourage inappropriate behaviors on the buses using the same methods our ECLC teachers use in our classrooms. This is a great collaboration between ECLC and their Ecco Ride drivers!
