Your child can order on as many or as few hot lunch/milk days as they choose.

All forgotten items, including lunch, should be brought to the school office with your student name and teacher clearly labeled.  School staff will place the item on the 'I Forgot Table'.  This table is located in the main office.  It is the responsibility of the student to check for forgotten lunches and/or homework.   Your student will not be called from class to pick up forgotten items. The office will do their best to email the teacher that the item is on the table and deliver these items by the end of the day if they are still on the table. We appreciate you working with us to teach your child responsibility. 

School rules and discipline policy are listed in the Elmwood Handbook.

No food may be sent to school in honor of birthday celebrations. Your student can be honored in a variety of ways other than the sharing of edible treats. Recommended birthday "treats" include: stickers, pencils, or a donation of a book to the LRC in your child's name. Please contact the classroom teacher with your intent prior to sending "treats".

Please go to the district calendar for the last day of school. Be aware that there are 4 emergency days built into the calendar for school year so the last day of school may be different nearing the end of the year than the date stated at the beginning of the year.

The K-5th grade school day on early dismissal/half days will be from 8:15-11:35 a.m.
