Family Newsletter September 2024

Updates from Mrs. Porter
We are thrilled to have our students back at the ELC and they are transitioning to the change in their routines very well! The ELC teachers and staff have been working hard to model and teach routines and procedures for students these past three weeks and will continue to do so for weeks to come.
There are MANY opportunities for family fun and for volunteering these next two months. Please consider joining our PTO and participating in the upcoming events. The more volunteers we have, the better the events.
We are on our final push to for completing the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 & ASQ-SE2). We have sent home this week notices to our returning students that need parents to complete the screeners and any new students we were missing. We are striving for 100% of our students enrolled to have guardians complete the screening to help reach our state goal. Thanks in advance for your help with this. Here is the link to the screenings for your reference: https://www.asqonline.com/family/859deb.
It has been a wonderful start to the school year and we appreciate the partnership between school and home. Thank you to each of you for sharing your child with us during the most important years of their development.
