Letter from the Principal
Steggie Families-
We have had a great week this week. Students enjoyed dressing up for spirit week and had a covid safe valentines day. We hope your family has a great four day weekend to relax. We have many exciting events coming up when students return. We will finish out February with more parent teacher conferences on Wednesday, the 24th. Then on March 2nd, we kick off our "One Book One McElwain" with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Every student in the school will have access to a book so we can read as a community. This year is going quickly and we appreciate all of the help and support from our McElwain family.
Stay Well, Stay Safe

Social Emotional Survey
Dear McElwain Families,
Earlier this month you received an email announcing that all schools in the Five Star District will be administering the first Social-Emotional Learning Survey this year. I am writing to let you know that McElwain students will receive the survey on Wednesday, February 17 during the school day.
Our school is committed to increasing social-emotional resources and support for all students. In alignment with our community-driven strategic plan, ELEVATE, we are excited to provide students with a survey that will allow us to measure the impact of those resources on our students’ social-emotional learning. Although this survey does not collect personally identifiable information, it does allow us to view feedback trends and patterns across our school that will inform how we approach social-emotional learning for all students.
If you have any questions regarding the survey, I encourage you to look at the following:
Thank you for your participation in this survey. We are excited to learn more about the social-emotional needs of our students in order to provide them with the best possible educational experience.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions at: 720-972-5500
Sincerely,
Sara Olson
