Elm Street Families Weekly Update

Sunday, September 13, 2026

Hello Elm Street Families -

We're finally up and running, and we were so excited to see all the smiling faces on Friday. Here is your weekly update:

Meet-the-Staff Barbecue

Don’t forget our Meet the Staff Barbecue, Thursday, September 17, 5:00–6:00 PM. Meet your child’s teacher and enter a draw for a chance to win a $25 gift card to Walmart or a $25 gift card to Butcher Block. Then enjoy a free hot dog!

Reminder to Parents/Guardians

If your child will not be attending school, please remember to call 902-888-8490 and press 1 to leave a message (name and class) on the absent/sick line. In addition, if you need to change plans for end-of-day dismissal, please call the office and press 3 to speak with Ms Amanda. Teachers often cannot check email during the day and may miss your message.
