With the school year well under way, our ELC Little Lions have set the bar high for themselves! They are becoming more independent by the minute and learning something new every day that passes. Routines, schedules and expectations are being set in place, and students have even given their input as to what topics they would like to learn about this school year. Classrooms are roaring with conversation, storytelling and the most contagious sounds of laughter!

Thank you for being a very special part of our ELC community! We thank you for all you do to keep our students motivated, engaged and safe!

There are LOTS of clickables in this week's newsletter, so make sure to click on any colored bar or picture as you scroll! As always, please reach out with any questions, comments or concerns by phone or email.

D123 uses the Visitor Aware Program to immediately identify visitors and create a temporary ID badge to wear for the duration of their time spent at our schools.

In order to ensure a smooth visit to the ELC, please use THIS LINK to complete the pre-registration for Visitor Aware for any future classroom volunteering and visits inside our building.

You will be prompted to take a picture of yourself and answer a few questions, including Driver's License #. Once you complete this, you will be added to the system and will not have to resubmit this information every time you visit the building. You will receive a QR code via text and email to scan which is what you will use when checking into the school for a visit.

If you have any questions, please contact the Main Office.
