Principal's Post: Student Attendance
We are extremely grateful for the communication and partnership with families around student attendance thus far this school year.
Daily routines are essential for reducing stress and creating a sense of security for students and adults.
Please take steps to keep your child healthy and send them to school unless they are truly sick. Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as connect with peers and school staff.
If your family or your child needs support, please reach out to a student services staff member for help. Their names and contact information are always at the bottom of each newsletter. Or you can always call our school office and staff will be ready to connect you with someone who can help.
We thank:
· Our students and their families who do their best to show up to class every day even when it isn’t easy.
· Our staff who have gone above and beyond to help make school a welcoming learning environment where students can thrive.
· Our many, many healers and helpers - the support staff and community volunteers who provide the extra hands and attention our children need.
Thank you for partnering with us!
Sincerely,
Rachael Johnson & The ELC/PC Staff

Calming Strategies from the PBIS Team
This year, in these newsletters we have shared strategies to help students calm down and manage strong emotions at home. Below is a great three step process to use when your child is having a strong emotion.
PTO News
The PTO has a great, new opportunity where you can buy local AND support your local PTO! We have teamed up with Artemis Provisions to create a fundraiser where you can buy a “Steak - it’s what’s for dinner” gift box or a “Tasty Troll Bites” gift box and it will support the PTO and our mission to support all the amazing students and staff at the ELC, PC and IC!

Please Pack Your Child a Change of Clothes And an Ask for Pants for our Health Office
We would like to encourage you to send a change of clothes for your child to keep in their backpack or cubby. With spills, accidents and a wet playground, our supply of extra clothes is quickly depleted. Having a change of clothes at school, for your student, will save you a call from the office asking you to bring your child a change of clothes during the school day.
That being said, we are in need of stretchy pants(no jeans) size 6-12 for boys and girls in our health office. We would love your donations of gently used(no holes) stretchy pants.
Thank you so much for your help with this!
Supports Available
Need social-emotional support for your child? Need to problem-solve or check-in with our Student Services team members? We have a team of highly qualified staff who stand on the ready to support you and your student. You can call the PC main office at 437-7506 or ELC main office 437-7606 to be connected to our team, or you can send them an email directly.
