Principal's Message
Greetings Elm Families,
We hope everyone had a fabulous summer! We can't wait to bring all of our students back to Elm for the 2022-2023 school year. This principal has definitely felt it was way too quiet around here. This will be the first edition of the Cougar Courier for the 2022-2023 school year. As always this will be filled with all things Elm Middle School.
We can't wait for an amazing school year, filled with our students exploring their learning, taking part in extra-curricular activities, and building our community of learners!
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. #TeamElmStrong
Mrs. Ashley Groeneveld
