The Hornet Buzz
September 1-12
Greetings from Mrs. Musick
Dear St. Elizabeth Families,
We’re already two weeks into the new school year, and what an exciting start it has been! Walking through classrooms, hallways, and playgrounds, I see students engaged in learning, teachers building meaningful connections, and a school community that is truly living out our Hornet pride.
This year, our theme is “Year of Engagement,” and it’s been inspiring to see students dive into lessons, collaborate with peers, and take ownership of their learning from the very start. Whether in math, reading, science, or the arts, our classrooms are buzzing with activity—just like Hornets should!
As we look ahead, we’re excited about the events and opportunities coming up in the next few weeks. We’ll continue to communicate important dates, celebrate student achievements, and keep you informed about how you can stay connected and involved.
Thank you for your partnership in making these first two weeks so successful. Your encouragement and support are what help us create a learning environment where every student can thrive. Together, we’ll make this school year a memorable and meaningful one!

Reminders for the School Year
Drop off times: Students can't be dropped off before 7:45, unless participating in the Before Care program or an appointment with a teacher. This is to ensure that they are being looked after by staff. Drop off times should be between 7:45 and 8:00 and students will come to the gym during those times instead of main entrance.
Before/After Care for K-5th Grade: Friendly reminder that the end time for After Care for K-5 is 5:00. Please make sure that if your child is here before 7:45, that they are attending Before Care.
Changes to routine: Please make sure to call the office before 2:00 or send a note in if there are changes to your child's routine for dismissal.
Pre-Arranged Absences: Please be sure to let Mrs. Musick and child's teacher(s) know. All work should be gathered before and is due upon return.
