WHAT'S HAPPENING
Picture Day in September, and message from the Photographer
For any student that missed pictures in August, we have another date scheduled for September 23rd. We will pull students from their classrooms from 8:30 to approx 10:30 for pictures.
Parents were asked for their emails at the time of photos. Once the images are ready (usually about 2 weeks after picture day), School and Sport Pics will email you a link to the photos. Since each student has a unique code that is needed to view / order the photos, they can also request the codes here:

If you need help with ordering, please email School and Sport Pics directly at customerservice@schoolandsportpics.com

CULVERS EAT 'N EARN - VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED!
Our 1st Eat N Earn of the year will be at Culvers New Berlin on National Avenue, Monday September 16th from 4-7pm.

Lets beat that record this year!
We are looking for some volunteers that night to help run food. Jaime Veal and Ryan Samz as well as some other staff members will be there running food as well, It’s always fun to see your principals and teachers outside of the school.

Receiving texts for important notifications
Elmwood and the School District of New Berlin needs your help to be able to reach you via text.
All SDNB families who wish to receive text messages from the district must “opt-in” to our SchoolMessenger text messaging service. This can be done by simply texting “Y” or “Yes” to 67587, after you make sure your contact information is up to date in Infinite Campus! If you are not sure you have done this already, text "Y" to 67587 anyway.
The ability to text our families is important to us. We can notify families quickly in the event of a school closing, late bus or other safety alerts. These are the only reasons our school/district will be texting you.
How do I add money to my child(ren)’s lunch account?
The directions can be found on the SDNB Nutrition website found here. Link on the right side of the page
