Principal
Now that the snow and ice have melted, our district is focusing on the impact the four snow days had on student learning.
The school calendar was revised to restore two school days in June. School will be in session on June 17 and the final day for students will be June 18. At this time, the calendar for Seniors remains the same and graduation will take place on June 7.
The Fern Ridge School Board unanimously approved the calendar revisions during their March 18 meeting. These changes will be updated to the district website calendar later today.
Thank you to our families for your flexibility as we work to ensure that we are providing as much learning time as we can for our students.

Kindergarten Information Night for 2019-2020
Tuesday, March 12th, 2018 6:00-7:30 pm
Elmira Elementary is excited to offer an evening of information for our incoming Kindergarten families.
For many children, Kindergarten is the beginning of their education and their first steps outside the familiarity of home. For many parents, it’s the start of a relationship with their public school system.
In Kindergarten, students develop a love for learning. They begin to feel comfortable in a new environment as they advance their basic skills such as working with others, listening, and sharing. Throughout the year, students will expand their academic skills in reading, writing, and math.
Elmira Elementary strives to give parents and students the right start in education by caring for and understanding each child’s needs and each parent’s concerns. We encourage parents to contact us whenever they have questions or concerns.

6:00-6:30 p.m. — School Tour
