Dear St. Elizabeth Families,

What a great start to the school year! September is a wonderful time to settle into routines and build relationships. Our halls and classrooms are filled with energy and learning.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. When our school and families work together, our students have the opportunity to thrive both academically and personally. We are excited about all that this school year has in store and look forward to making many great memories together.

As we move through September, I encourage our students to stay engaged, work hard, be kind, and make the most of every opportunity.

Here is the concession stand work list for the year.

Attendance: Please call in before 8:00 am to let the office know if your child will be absent. You can speak to the secretary or leave a message. If it is for a doctor's appointment, doctor notes are highly encouraged to be turned in to the office for us to keep on file.

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 PK-5th Grade: Friendly reminder that the end time for After Care for PK-5 is 5:00. Please make sure that if your child is here before 7:45, that they are attending Before Care. Preschool before care will be in the gym this school year. Preschool Aftercare will still be in the classroom like it traditionally has been. K-5 Aftercare has a sign posted outside main doors that tells pick up location. Please remember to sign in your child and sign out your child for before and after care. Payment is due on the 10th of each month.

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.

We have a licensed counselor on campus on Mondays. If you are interested in this, please send in paperwork that was sent home or you can request paperwork at any point during the school year.
