Elmwood Express

Elmwood Families,

We hope your child enjoyed their second week at school. The students have settled into their classrooms and have begun the learning new things! It is exciting to watch as our older students model what good behavior and leadership looks like for our younger students.

In case you missed it in our last newsletter, please check out the details for our Open House which is on Wednesday, September 14th. More details are below. Your child will get to show you their new classrooms and you will have an opportunity to see how wonderful our new updates look throughout the building.

Please note that Monday is our first early release day. Every Monday, students will be released at 2:00 PM. Please be sure share this information with whomever is picking your child up.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or Mrs. Hagins

Sincerely,

Mr. Lerner

Students may enter the building starting at 8:20 AM each day. Students should arrive no later than 8:40, although we encourage students to be in the building by 8:35 so they have time to get to class. When using our drop off lanes, please observe the following rules:

*Adults must remain in the car when using a drop-off/pick up lane. If your child needs assistance getting into or out of the car we ask that you park your car across the street and walk your child into the building. This includes children who need help putting on their back packs or opening and closing the door.

*Please do not drop your children off in the middle of the street. This is dangerous and will cause your child to cross the street in front of moving traffic.

*Cell phone usage is prohibited in school zones.

*Please do not park in our pick up lanes prior to student entry, or while waiting for school to dismiss.
