As we prepare for final end of the year assessments and EOG testing, please be sure to have your student here at school EVERY day! We appreciate your support!

We will be posting end of the year dates on our website soon for all of our special events. Please check the calendar and plan ahead so you can be involved in as much as possible.

Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Spring Fever........

.......is definitely upon us! Sunshine and warm temperatures are upon us. As we near the finish line this year we need your help. Please encourage your child by ensuring daily homework activities are complete, have him or her here on time every day, and encourage your child to do his or her daily best! We are working hard to see to it that your child learns as much as possible as we buckle down this last nine weeks in preparation for EOGs and final assessments. Thanks for your help!

Enjoy your Spring Break! Remember, Thursday, April 8 & Friday, April 9 are now regular student days due to inclement weather.

Thanks for the feedback!

Our first parent pancake breakfast was held Monday. Our attendance was a little lower than we hoped for but we were experiencing bad weather. Even though we had a small group we received great feedback from the parents in attendance. Please know that your comments and feedback are always welcome! Thank you for your continued support!

Pancakes with the Principal

Monday, Feb. 15 is our first Pancakes with the Principal breakfast. A homemade pancake breakfast will be served at 8am in the school multipurpose room. Please sign in the lobby and receive a visitor's pass when you arrive. This is not a time for parents and students to eat together, but a time for parents to come together over a meal, fellowship, and share ideas on ways we can improve our school. There is no 'program' start time so you can come at any time around 8am until all pancakes are gone! I hope to see you all on Monday! By working together we can ensure Ellendale is the best school we can possibly be!
