Students and staff had a wonderful time at the Tall and Small Ball. Thank you to the PTO and everyone who volunteered to help make the event so special! 

Students learned about groundhog day and made predictions of whether they thought the groundhog would see his shadow and go back in his burrow, for six more weeks of winter, or whether he would not see his shadow, indicating an early Spring.

Each month, we recognize one student from each grade who demonstrates one of our Core Values, with their certificates proudly awarded to them. In addition to honoring a student, we also recognize a staff member. This month, one of our Second Grade Teachers, was nominated! Ms. Douglass is recognized by her colleagues for demonstrating revolution at Elm Drive each and every day. She is committed to refining her teaching, reflects on the work she does and is consistently growing. She works tirelessly to become the best version of herself and is an amazing addition to our building. We are so proud of our students and staff for living our PEACE values and serving as positive role models throughout our school community!

This is a friendly reminder to all parents and families that before any prescribed medication can be administered to any student during school hours, the school requires one, a written request from the parent(s) or (guardians) giving permission for such administration, two, a written note from the prescribing medical provider which will include the student's name, the date and name of the medication, the purpose of the medication, the dosage and time to be administered, and a list of all the possible side effects and three, a medication request form which includes the health care provider and parent signatures.

All prescribed medications to be administered during school hours should be delivered by a parent, guardian, or other designated adult to the staff at the front door for delivery to the School Nurse. (Students are not to deliver medications to the School Nurse or carry and/or self-administer medications during school hours.) All medications delivered to the school should be in their original dispensed boxes or containers with the attached pharmacy prescription labels on them. The medications should be placed and sealed in a clear plastic bag and labeled with the student's full name for delivery to the School Nurse. We appreciate your compliance with this policy in order to maintain the continued saftey of our students.
