Elliott Express
October 15, 2021
From the Principal's Desk
Dear Elliott Parents,
For years, U.S. News has ranked high schools. They just published a ranking for elementary and middle schools. Attached is the article.
This ranking is based off of the assessment data from the 2018-2019 school year. Elliott was ranked 40th out of all of the elementary schools in Indiana. Great job to the Elliott staff.
Have a great weekend.
Ms. Guernsey and Mrs. Jez

Picture Retake Day, October 22, 2021
Picture Day is: Oct 22, 2021
Order Code is: 60094N
Your link to order is: https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/60094N
Above is our picture date, order code & one click link to online ordering for your retake picture day. THIS CODE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL ORDER CODE. This is for the parents of any new students, students who were absent on original picture day or any students that may have not yet been photographed. The one click link above will take parents directly to the website to order.
Students who ordered a package on original picture day but are choosing to get their picture retaken MUST bring their original picture package with them on retake day. They DO NOT need to place a new order. If they forget their package on retake day, the company will take their photo & write their name down but they will not order them a new package until the old one is returned.
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
Students are to come to school on October 29th wearing their costumes. Students should not wear gory, bloody, or violent costumes . We want to make this a good time for all of our students. I realize that some of the older students get a kick out of these costumes but this is a kindergarten through fifth grade school and several of these can get quite scary. No guns or swords can be displayed with your costume. Also, please make sure that the clothing is appropriate and not provocative in nature. If your student wishes to wear a costume of that nature they can do so in the evening at Trick or Treat.
