Emma L. Miller Friday Family Focus
Be Kind, Be Awesome, Be Well!
Friday, 9/1
Good Morning E.L.M. Families,
September is here! We hope everyone had a great week back to school. Our students have been working hard to learn new routines, make new friends, and build stamina for a full day of school. We expect that everyone will be in the swing of things by the end of next week.
I'd like to give a SHOUT OUT to all of our carline families for your patience and cooperation during drop off and pick up. It's taking us some time to become familiar with our new families and helping our new, little friends in and out of the car, so the carlines are taking a bit longer than usual. We appreciate your continued patience while we make this make these adjustments. Thank you!
