Learning and Celebrations
Ensuring every student feels physically and emotionally safe is central to our school vision.
Thank you to all the families who joined our second Chat & Chew on bullying prevention! Our Parent Liaison Brenda Beasley, Officer Vines, and Assistant Principal Ms. Block loved connecting with you. We host these gatherings on the first Wednesday of every month and hope to see even more of you next time. Please let us know if there is a specific topic you would like us to cover!
Our CharacterStrong trait for November is GRATITUDE.
Students are discovering meaningful ways to notice and express thanks every day. Look for the CharacterStrong Family Connection page in your child's assignment notebook or folder—it features classroom highlights and simple conversation starters to enjoy together at home. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our Elmwood families for partnering with us to support and nurture your child's learning. We are truly grateful to share this journey with you!
