Principal's Update
Site Based Advisory Team
Every school has a Site-Based Advisory Committee or Team that meets regularly to discuss Campus Improvement and Staff Development Plans, approve budgets, and address issues important to the overall management of the school. This group is comprised of school administrators, teachers, non-teaching staff, parents, community/business representatives, and district staff. All meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend. Our meetings are from 3:15 - 4:15 at Elsa England on the following dates:
- October 25
- January 24
- March 21
- May 9
We are in need of two more parent volunteers and a non-parent representative from an area business or community organization. If you can help or if you have a referral for a business/community organization, please contact me via email.
Leopards Learning!
Ask your students what they have been learning in science. You should hear your students describe investigations, design processes, explorations, and hands-on activities. We embed literacy strategies, vocabulary development, critical thinking skills, and problem solving in all content areas.

PTA Appreciation!
We set a record at our first School Spirit Night at Baskin Robbins last week! Our staff servers had a blast visiting with our England families and dishing out some tasty treats. The line was out the door, so we all helped PTA raise several hundred dollars for school programs. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Thank you to Baskin Robbins for supporting Elsa England School Spirit Nights! Next stop - Chipotle! Let's set another record!
