Students can access a free typing program so they can practice at home.   Our students find this site fun and entertaining and they are learning some essential skills for school and work.   All students will have to keyboard their answers into  our new state test.   This website will help give them a jump start on the needed skills.  Go to parent and student websites on the right side of this page and you can access this program from home (or click on the picture).

Last year at the Elmira Elementary Auction, Nancy Coffman’s parents bid on and won the Principal of the Day prize.   On September 18, 2014, Nancy claimed her prize and this is what she had to say about it…

Principal for the Day By Nancy Coffman

Yesterday I was Principal of the Day. It was so much fun! First I got my whistle and nametag. Then I helped as the attendance folders came in.

            Ms. Turle taught me how to use a walkie talkie. Michelle taught me how to answer the phone and where the hold button is. I even answered the phone for a mom!  I went into the first grade class and the Kindergarten room. Ms. Turle bought me lunch and during lunch the magician came and I introduced him to the school at the beginning of the assembly. I got to be on lunch duty and recess duty. I got to hand cupcakes out to the 1^st graders during lunch. At the end of the day Ms. Turle gave me a present that was a certificate in a picture frame. It was the best day ever! I thank Ms. Turle so much!

Thank you for passing Measure 20-220.   Because of you our kids will have a new school, healthier facilities up to date technology and safer buildings.   Thank you for trusting us with your kids and thank you for the vote of confidence!   We appreciate our community!

This is the last day to vote please remember to turn in your ballot today by 5:00.  Remember there is a school bond on the ballot:  Measure 20-220.

Measure 20-220 would replace Elmira Elementary School, renovate other school facilities, and improve technology and safety throughout the District.  If approved by voters, the measure is projected to result in no increase to the school bond tax rate that property owners currently pay.   Measure 20-220 is a replacement bond for an expiring school bond.

Please remember to vote!

The auction and talent show came and went.   Saturday, May 17, 2014, our cafeteria was filled to the brim with prizes and talent.   We all had fun and made money for our school.     My thanks goes out to everyone who helped, participated, sang a song or bought a burger.   The event was a huge success!
