Cougar Courier
ELM MIDDLE SCHOOL’S WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
September 9, 2022
Principal's Message
Greetings Elm Families,
We hope everyone had a wonderful week. We had a busy one here; students began digging into pre-tests for all of their classes to gauge their understanding of concepts. This assessment information is valuable in developing learning activities and strategies to meet the needs of every student at ELM.
Athletic and activities are in full swing; the boys and girls softball teams are still undefeated, and cross country has its first meet next week. Here we go Cougars!!
We can't wait to see everyone at Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 15th, at 5:30p.m. This is an amazing way to connect with your student's teachers and learn about the dynamic curriculum they will take part in throughout the year.
Please take a few minutes and read through this week’s Cougar Courier. As always, should you need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. Stay safe! #TeamElmStrong
Most Sincerely,
Ms. Ashley Groeneveld
