Kindergarten Information Night for 2019-2020

Tuesday, March 12th, 2018 6:00-7:30 pm

Elmira Elementary is excited to offer an evening of information for our incoming Kindergarten families.

For many children, Kindergarten is the beginning of their education and their first steps outside the familiarity of home. For many parents, it’s the start of a relationship with their public school system.

In Kindergarten, students develop a love for learning. They begin to feel comfortable in a new environment as they advance their basic skills such as working with others, listening, and sharing.  Throughout the year, students will expand their academic skills in reading, writing, and math.

Elmira Elementary strives to give parents and students the right start in education by caring for and understanding each child’s needs and each parent’s concerns. We encourage parents to contact us whenever they have questions or concerns.

All of our OBOB participants are invited to the EES vs VES Battle on February 28th- Parents please look for permission forms to come home next week.

The Child Center is presenting a series of four classes for parents on collaborative problem solving. Collaborative problem solving is an exciting model that teachers you and your child skills that will reduce meltdowns, increase positive relationships, and improve communications. Parents with child in elementary school or middle school will find the strategies used in collaborative problem solving useful and effective. If you are struggling with your child’s challenging behaviors or are frustrated and searching for a more effective way to manage your child’s behavior, then collaborative problem solving could be what the solution you are looking for.

The classes will be held on Thursdays at Elmira Elementary School from 6 PM to 7:30 PM starting February 28th. Dinner will be served and childcare provided during the class. Space is limited so if you are interested call 541-726-1465 to register.

School Board Member Photos with Thank you

Our school board members are unpaid volunteers with their own jobs and families who give countless hours to our district.  We want to take this opportunity to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication.

Our board members make many critical decisions that have an impact on our staff, students and community.  They attend workshops and conferences, are responsible for setting policies, completing a yearly evaluation of the superintendent and reviewing financial reports.

In Fern Ridge, our school board members work hard to connect with students and school staff.  They take time out of their own personal and professional lives to be a part of special events held throughout the district in addition to attending the monthly board meetings and all of the budget committee meetings.

Thank you Mark Boren, Sterling Pew, Andrea Larson, Barbara Graham-Adams and Jebadiah Flowers.  You are superheros in our community and we appreciate all that you do!

Hello EES Families-

Iditaread is fast approaching!  The kick off assembly is going to be held on Thursday, January 24th at 1:30.

If you are interested in a volunteer opportunity & we need your help, please click on the link   https://www.volunteersignup.org/M4W3Y  to sign up to count minutes that the kids read each day.  This only takes a small amount of time in the morning after drop off.

If you have any questions, please let me know & I will get you in contact with the Chairpersons, Alison & Shahalie.

Thank you for supporting the kids and helping to foster a love of reading!!
