Hello ELC Families!
Lost & Found
If you haven’t done so, please make sure you check our virtual ELC Lost & Found. If lost items go unclaimed, items will be donated to Goodwill at the end of the school day on December 17, 2021.
The link to our virtual lost & found is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H3h6ySWWnjKEFjj_43QudD_kfazxiJuRPR5UH8Mg55Y/edit?usp=sharing
Drop off/ Pick up Reminder
Please stay in the car rider line. I discussed the drop off/pick up procedures in last month’s newsletter.
While waiting in line, please do not pass other vehicles waiting in the car rider line. For example, if you are in the car rider line, once you turn onto Wilson St. from 41st Ave., you should be in the north bound lane. Do not use the south bound lane to pass all the vehicles that are waiting to turn into lot A. Our school busses use the south bound lane to exit our school, and vehicles in lot A use that lane to exit also. Please remember the rules of the road, and procedures the ELC has put into place for your safety and the safety of our students.
Student Safety Academy (SSA)
For those of you that don’t know, I have created a Student Safety Academy (SSA) for our little Brickies at the ELC. With the help of Miss Deter, we will be having our club every Thursday after school until 4 p.m. The goal of our club is to teach our students about school and every day safety! We will be having guest speakers such as Police Officers, Firemen, Police K9’s and we will be creating safety posters that we can display around our school!
If you would like to have your student participate in the SSA, or if you have any questions, you can email me at jclemmons@hobart.k12.in.us.
Remember, there is no safety in silence!

Hello families. My name is Mrs. Gregory and I am the Instructional Aide for Mrs. Metz. This is my second year working at the ELC and I LOVE MY JOB!!
