Group Connection Virtual Event: Thursday, April 28th, 2026 from 4:30PM-5:30PM
The Scholastic Book Fair will be here Monday, May 11- Friday, May 15 and now is the time to set up your eWallet for hassle free shopping for your student! Please go to: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/elkhillselementaryschool and scroll down to Prepare for the Fair to set up your eWallet. You can also donate funds for another student who may not have money to shop and you can even browse the books available to get your child excited for their shopping experience! The Scholastic Book Fair will also be open during the Spring Festival & Classroom Showcase on Thursday, May 14th from 5PM-7PM!
As we near the end of the school year, we want to recognize the hard work of our students and staff - especially as we begin CAASPP and NWEA testing. CAASPP assesses how well students in grades 3–8 are mastering English, math, and science (grades 5 & 8), while NWEA measures growth in grades TK–2. These results help us track progress and guide instruction. Our proficiency levels have steadily improved, thanks to our students’ effort, our teachers’ dedication, and your support. Let’s keep the momentum going! Please encourage your student(s) to do their best, get plenty of rest, and know their effort matters. Thank you for being a vital part of our community!
