The Hornet Buzz
September 15-26
Greetings from Mrs. Musick
Dear St. Elizabeth Families,
It’s hard to believe we have already completed our first month of school! The halls are buzzing with learning and laughter, and it has been such a joy to watch our students settle into their classrooms and routines.
During these first weeks, teachers have worked hard to build positive relationships and establish strong foundations for the year ahead. Students have been engaged in hands-on learning, cooperative activities, studying, reading, and setting goals. We are so proud of the effort and enthusiasm we are seeing every day!
Here are a few updates as we move into the next month:
✅ Celebrations
-
Students are demonstrating our Hornet values daily—respect, responsibility, and kindness.
-
Attendance has been strong this first month—thank you for making school a priority!
Our MAP/EOC data continues to show our academic success.
📅 Upcoming Events
-
Picture Day is September 24. See You at the Pole is also September 24.
-
Carnival is October 3rd. More information coming soon on that!
💡 Our Focus: Engagement
This year’s theme is Year of Engagement. We are working to engage every student, every day, in meaningful learning and active participation. You can help at home by asking your child what they learned each day and encouraging them to share something that excited or challenged them.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are creating a positive school community where every student can thrive. If you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to share a success story, my door is always open.
Here’s to a wonderful second month of school!
It's a great day to be a Hornet!

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.
