Elk Meadows Elementary Mission Statement:
Elk Meadows Falcons are growing to be
resilient, lifelong learners.
♦ Character Strong
This month we are talking about Responsibility. One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others.

** For grade based newsletters, you can find them under the programs tab.
♦ Announcements
Our School Community Council has two open seats. Each School Community Council consists of the principal, school employees, and parents or guardians of students attending the school. The School Community Council determines their school's greatest academic need and prepares a plan to address that need with the school's portion of the money distributed from the School LAND Trust program. If you are interested in running and would like to be a part of our school Community Council please reach out to Shannon shannonbird@gmail.com
The meeting dates are as follows: Thursday October 9, November 13, January 8, and March 12.

♦Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures
Our east parking lot has been reconstructed to meet the needs of our many buses. The parking lot that is accessible from 9800 South (directly in front of our school) will now be the parent pick up and drop off lot. Please watch the video below so that our drop off and pick up can run smoothly, but most importantly keep our students safe.
