The Hornet Buzz
October 26-November 7
Greetings from Mrs. Musick
Dear St. Elizabeth Families,
It is the end of first quarter and we enjoyed having so many parents attend Parent/Teacher Conferences. It is always one of our favorite times of year where parents can come in and get to talk one on one with our teachers.
The second quarter brings new opportunities for learning and engagement. Teachers are diving deeper into core content, encouraging creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Our staff continues to focus on building positive relationships and maintaining a safe, supportive environment for all students.
As the holidays approach, we also look forward to several special activities and events that celebrate both the season and our school community. Please keep an eye on upcoming newsletters and announcements so you don’t miss out on performances, spirit days, and classroom activities.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Your involvement—whether it’s attending events, encouraging good study habits, or simply asking your child about their day—makes a tremendous difference. Together, we’re helping our students grow into confident, caring learners who embody what it means to be a Hornet.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful fall season and a strong start to the second quarter!

Congratulations 2nd grade on reaching their reading goal of reading 300 books and taking 300 AR tests! They had set a goal that if they met it, they would get to pie me in the face! We are working on setting up a time for 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. A way that you can help at home is to ask them about what they are learning in the classroom. If you ever have any suggestions, questions, or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
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.
