Principal's Message
Greetings Elm Families,
We hope everyone had a wonderful week! We're getting close to spring break and many fun celebrations on the horizon! We're settling into trimester three and now is a great time to talk with your students about their classes and grades for the final trimester of the year!
We have Illinois State testing just around the corner as well, take a few minutes to read through the letters below outling our plans for testing this year! These are very important assessments for all of our students to be present to take!
Please take a few minutes and read through this week’s Courier! As always, should you need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. Stay safe! #TeamElmStrong
