The Ely Happening

Hello Ely Families!

It is hard to believe that we are in the 4th Quarter at Ely Elementary. Our students and teachers have been working very hard this school year. We want to wish all of our 3rd and 4th graders good luck as they take the OST test this week and next week. Please sure to talk with your child about the 3 B's:

Be Respectful

Be Responsible

Be Ready To Achieve

If you drop off or pick up your student- please make sure you are only doing so in the designated pickup and drop off area where staff are located. Please note that no child should be dropped off at the school unattended prior to 8:55. We do this to ensure your student is safe and supervised by an adult, thank you for your cooperation. Just as a reminder that the small loop is only designated for busses and day care vans in the morning. If you are dropping off you should be using the main car rider loop. If for any reason you need to help your child get in or out of the car we kindly ask you to park and do so, to allow dismissal traffic to move smoothly.

Regular attendance at the elementary school level is crucial to each student’s success, as it sets up a good pattern for your child’s entire school career. Please make sure your child is here every day that it is possible.

Please make sure to follow us on all of our social media channels to stay informed of everything that is happening at Ely. If you ever have any concerns or questions please feel free to out.

Coffee and Donuts With The Principal:

These will be monthly meetings where you can come and talk with Mr. Easton about specific topics and ask questions as well. Our next Coffee & Donuts Event will be Tuesday, April 29th at 9:30 at Ely Elementary School.

Reminder, the drive that runs along the small parking lot is for daycare and bus pick up and drop off only. We’ve seen an increase in cars using this lane which prevents our buses from being able to pull all the way up.

School hours are 9:10am-3:10pm.

Doors do not open until 8:55- please do not drop off early or allow students to walk early.

If you are dropping off, please hold your child in the car with you until 8:55am.

Please call the office to report your child(ren)’s absence at 440-284-8005 before 9:30AM. Our phone has 24-hour voicemail so that you may call and leave a message anytime. Please leave a voicemail if no one answers the phone in the office; voicemails are frequently checked and the office will receive your message.

Please make sure you always have a photo ID with you, when you come to the school, this is for the safety of our students.

The Main Office of any school building is a hub of activity. Students and staff are always on the go, in and out of the space throughout the school day.

It’s an active place for regular check-ins and meetings with students, as well as staff conferences and daily interactions with school principals and counselors. The Main Office is also a confidential space at times for conversations and interactions between school personnel and students.

Parents and caregivers are part of the equation, too. For any number of reasons, parents may be asked to come to their child’s school during the day. When that happens, parents should follow the district’s visitor procedures by using the school’s main entrance buzzer and intercom system to gain entrance to the school, and then signing in at the front desk.

If parents/caregivers do not have a meeting at the school but still need to come to the school during the day to see their child or to speak to a staff member, call-ahead notice or an appointment is required.

This ensures parents will be seen in a timely manner and upholds the safety practices of the school. To contact the Main Office, please call 440-284-8005
