Stracks Receipts Contest – Help Your Child’s Class Win!
Each month, our classrooms compete to collect the most Strack's grocery receipts, and the winning class is recognized and celebrated! It’s a fun way to build school spirit while supporting our students. Every receipt you send in helps us earn dollars that go directly toward classroom items that support your child’s learning like books, supplies, and educational materials. Let’s work together to make a difference one receipt at a time!
You can scan boxtops for our school to earn money for prizes & class incentives!
Working Hard and Shining Bright!
The kids are doing such a FANTASTIC job with their procedures every day and we are in the full swing of learning. Here are some of the goals we are looking to achieve during the first quarter!
The ELC is a Title I School.
You should have all received a letter in the mail this week with all the important information on Title I. We need ALL parents to sign and return that letter to school in your child's folder ASAP! The home school compact is shown below for reference.
Dyslexia Screener 9/24 &9/25
As part of early literacy screening, Kindergarten students will participate in a brief Dyslexia Screener later this month. This helps us identify early reading needs so we can better support every child’s growth. It’s quick, age-appropriate, and administered in a calm, supportive environment.
