Elmira Elementary School

If you had fun this summer and want to share your photos and we can use them on our website, send the photos to me.   I will post them as I make announcements this year via our website.

Just a quick reminder that school starts Tuesday September 8th.

Our new start time is 7:55 our ending time is 2:25 and Wednesdays kids go home at 12:45

Kindergarten Students:

All kindergarten students must complete the second half of kindergarten registration on August 19th 7:00-7:00. If you preregistered, it will take just a few minutes to update your information and sign up for a day to come the first week of school. If you have not preregistered, you will need to bring in a copy of your child’s birth certificate, immunization information, and proof of residency. If you would like to fill out the kindergarten registration forms in advance, the link is to the right of this post.

Returning Students:

If you did not return your child’s updated registration information before school ended, than you will need to register your child for the 2015-2016 school year August 25th thru August 27th. Registration hours are:

• August 25th from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM
• August 26th 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM
• August 27th 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

All students must be registered by Thursday, September 3rd to start school on Tuesday, September 8th, including returning students. Please call or email if you have any questions or concerns…

The school board reviewed the proposed changes to our schedule and as we were trying to capture more instructional time, we decided to adjust our changes to better accommodate parents, staff and most of all learning.   The final change and schedule for our school is:

Start Time:  7:55 Every school day

Release Time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday:  2:25

Early Release day:  Wednesdays 12:45

We will continue to offer people the option of after school child care through the Fern Ridge Child Development Center and we will answer any questions anyone has regarding these changes at 541-935-8214.

Happy Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
