Principal's Message

Dear Elmonica Families,

It was a great pleasure to have your children at Elmonic this year. They have learned so many things. I am proud of how your children were challenged to navigate school online with so many new learning platforms, and they did it so well! Your children have grown so much this year. They are smarter, bigger, stronger, and wiser. They are all certainly more responsible, more mature, and very resilient. This group of Elmonica students can do anything!

I look forward to most of you returning in the fall. We will return to school on Wednesday, September 8 under "nearly normal" conditions. I will share all of the details in our August welcome back letter using a new parent communication platform called ParentSquare. You will receive more information about ParentSquare from the school district by the end of the month. (Download the parent app! I already have it for my student.)

If you are moving over the summer please contact the front office with that information at your earliest convenience.

Have a lovely summer reconnecting with friends and family.

Be well,

Sincerely,

Kalay McNamee
