Welcome Back Message from Principal....

Dear Parents and Guardians,


Welcome back to another exciting school year at Ewing Young!


I hope you and your family have had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we prepare to embark on this new academic year, I want to say thank you for your continued support and partnership. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working hard to make sure your student has a positive and enriching experience for the 2024-2025 school year.


This year, we are thrilled to introduce Janet Clark to Ewing Young. She will be our half time music teacher this year as we will be sharing her with Joan Austin.


We encourage you to stay engaged with our school community. Your involvement is invaluable, and we welcome your participation in upcoming events, parent-teacher conferences, and volunteer opportunities.


Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. We are here to support you and your child every step of the way.


Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Together, we can make this school year a fantastic one!


Warm regards,


Scott Henderson

Principal, Ewing Young Elementary

We have added a ream of copy paper, Kleenex, and Clorox/Lysol wipes as a staple item for each student this year. Keep in mind, there may be things that are requested later in the year by your students teacher, or even as the year goes on by the school.

Taking medication at school

It may be necessary for a student to take medication at school. The following steps must be taken before school personnel can dispense any form of medication (prescription and over the counter) at school:

  • Medication is considered to be any drug, creams, ointments that are prescribed or not.
  • Parent or guardian must deliver all medication to the office and sign a district medication permission form.
  • Students may not transport medication to and from school including those who may need inhalers or Epi Pens.
  • All medication must be in their original container and not expired.
  • Prescription medication must have the prescription label attached.
  • Nonprescription medication that is not approved by the FDA, such as essential oils and supplements, must have a written order by a prescriber.


Please contact Ms. Lang in the school office to schedule a time to sign in medications.
