Thank you for the support you have provided in helping to make this year's school opening a success. Overall, the systems and routines we have in place at Elmwood have been highly successful. Continue to remain mindful that all car riders should use Elmwood's lower loop to both drop your student off and to pick your child up at the end of the school day. This will help ensure cars are not blocking traffic to drop off/pick up students in an unsafe location on Dale Ave. The process will become smoother as students become more familiar with their dismissal routine.
Preliminary data findings indicate many of our students are not performing on grade level. Now is the time we must come together to work in solidarity to address student achievement. Keep in constant communication with your child's teacher to become fully informed of how your child is performing with grade level standards. Also, your student should be receiving nightly home assignments to help solidify previously taught skills, practice math facts or sight words, and to read for 20 minutes independently or with an adult.
Through our collaborative efforts we are confident all students will rise to the level of expectations we place on them. They deserve all of us!
