Hello Elmwood Students and Families!
It was so wonderful to have so many of our families together last night enjoying the 4th and 5th grade winter concert. Everyone did such an amazing job! Hoping that many of you can join us to see our 3rd graders perform on December 21st during Cookies with Santa.🎅🍪
The Elmwood Holiday Shop is coming on December 20th and the PTO is looking for volunteers to help. Please check out the PTO section below for more information regarding available items, payment options, hours and a sign-up genius to volunteer. ❄️
Support our Student Council by donating a $1 to wear PJs on December 15th.
December 12th will be the last day for collecting canned goods and non-perishable food for the Goodfellows food drive. 🥫 The class that has collected the most food will receive a popsicle party.
We love our parent volunteers 💛💙 If you would like to volunteer to help out at lunch please click here.

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders
- We want to encourage our students and families to cross California and the surrounding streets safely. It is important to use the crosswalks and crossing guards available.
- It helps the flow of traffic if your child is ready to exit the car.
- Parents should stay in the car, to keep the drop-off line moving!
- There is NO Parking, dropping and/or stopping in front of the school on California. When this is done it prevents the busses from traveling safely and it causes quite a jam. There are signs up and police will ticket persons who are there.
- The front loop is ONLY for Busses.
- Parents may use the West Parking Lot/Loop to Stop and Drop their student(s).
- There is NO Left Turn out of the West Parking Lot/Loop.
- Parents may park on Malvern on the East side of school and/or on Alice on the West side of the school to walk their student to their entry door.
Lastly, please be mindful of school hours and do not drop off your children prior to 8:10. At 8:10 there should be a staff member outside to supervise them. 💛💙
Absences and/or Late Arrivals
If your child will be absent or late, please contact the office to let us know. You can either call the attendance line @ 586-435-1103 or email Mrs.Smith. When leaving a message, please state the child's name, teacher's name, date of absence and reason for absence (i.e. child is ill with fever, cough, etc.)
Be sure to order a Hot Lunch if they will be late and need a lunch. Orders must be in by 8:45 AM Thank you!!
