Some highlights from December and what’s coming up:

Giving Back to Elliott is Easy

When you eat you can help. You can give back to Elliott by saving your General Mills, Betty Crocker and Pillsbury products box tops (also known as Box Tops for Education), Campbell's Soup, Swanson and Best Choice Brand labels and then handing them into the office. Companies contribute money back to the school based upon number of labels returned, so make sure you save your box tops and label and return them to help out Elliott.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND!!!!

Keeping Our Children Safe

In order to increase the safety of our school, the only door that visitors may enter Elliott Elementary during school hours, will be the west entrance (back of the school). On arrival, all visitors, including family and volunteers, are required to check in with the Secured Entrance Monitor located in the main hall. Visitors will receive a visitor's badge identifying them as signed in visitors to our school.

Another matter of safety is the drop off and pick up locations for students. The staff parking lot poses many dangers and is not to be used for dropping off or picking up students. The west drive way is the only area designated and safe for students.

Students in the "Y" program may arrive at school between 7:45 and 8 a.m. Students arriving at school between 8:30 and 8:50 will be escorted to the cafeteria for breakfast. Students who are not eating breakfast should not arrive before 8:50 a.m.
