Hello wonderful Elolf families! I just wanted to make you aware that we did have an unplanned fire drill today. Students did a great job exiting the building and waiting until the building was cleared.
November 10th will be our Doughnuts and Dogtags. This is an event that you will need to RSVP. Below you will find the flyer and QR to RSVP.
Due to the inclement weather forecast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s outdoor Storybook Character Parade. The safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority.
However, we are not letting the rain ruin our fun! We still highly encourage all students to wear their school-appropriate book character costumes to school tomorrow.
Instead of marching outside, we will celebrate our love for reading in our classrooms. Our team will be capturing the magic and posting pictures to our Elolf STEAM Academy Facebook Page throughout the day so you can see all of our students' amazing creativity.
As a reminder, please ensure your child's costume remains safe, weapon-free, and comfortable enough for them to sit and move easily during class. No masks are allowed.
Thank you for your flexibility, understanding, and continued support of our Thunderbolts!
Sincerely,
Elolf STEAM Academy Administration
The parade will start at 7:45 and will last no more than 15-20 minutes. It is important that your child be in costume and on time in order to participate. At this time it looks as if it will be raining so all parents will have to check in to attend.
Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday
This Thursday and Friday should be really heavy with rain. Please remember that school does not dismiss until 2:50 PM, If your child is to go home a different way, you will need to communicate this to the teacher through an email or text message so that you child can be dismissed in the appropriate place and it is documented.
Due to the weather bike rodeo has been rescheduled.
October 7th will now be bike rodeo.

Hello wonderful thunderbolt families! I just wanted to send a reminder that if you are picking up your child in the back for car pick up, you MUST have an actual number tag. If you are in need of extras, you can reach out to your teacher and ask for some additional number tags or the front office. If you do not have a number tag, we will need to do an ID check for verification.
Hello wonderful thunderbolt familes! I wanted to give everyone an update on times for car rider dismissal. We are now ending between 3:06-3:08 PM daily. We will wait out back with the kiddos until 3:13 PM and then move to the front for late pick up.
Elolf conducted a practice LOCKDOWN Drill today. LOCKDOWN drills are conducted to ensure students and staff practice the Standard Response Protocols and know how to respond should a LOCKDOWN occur at our school. Our students and staff did an excellent job during the drill, and we will debrief with our local first responders to continue to identify any areas for improvement. Thank you for your continued support.

Parents just want to give you a heads up on car pick up. The expectations is that all parents MUST have the student tag in their hand. This can not be shown with a cell phone. If you do not have the official tag then staff will need to see your ID and call to the office to verify that you can pick up your child OR you can go to the front office and have them verify there. Student safety is our top priority.
As we maintain our focus on campus safety and security, we wanted to inform you that we will be conducting a LOCKDOWN drill during the week of August 31st. We want to ensure that all students, staff, and visitors are prepared in the event of any emergency, including what actions should be taken during a LOCKDOWN. Practice of emergency procedures through drills and training can reduce confusion.
We will not conduct live scenarios during our LOCKDOWN drill, meaning there will be no loud simulations or sounds.
“DRILL IN PROGRESS” signage will be posted at the front entrance to the school building.
NO VISITORS WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OR EXIT THE BUILDING DURING THE DURATION OF THE LOCKDOWN DRILL.
Just and FYI-when you are waiting for your students in the line please be sure to drive up to one of the numbered cones. We will bring your student to you and this will allow for traffic to keep moving.
Once again thank you parents and have a great evening.
Hello parents and thank you so much for being patient as we start this new dismissal . I do want to clarify some vocabulary that I feel caused a lot of confusion for today.
Walkers-walk home on their own (no tag needed)
Car pick up-parents park their car and walk up with the car tag and wait under the tree. Door 18
Car rider-parent stays in their car and drives through the back with student number. Student is walked to the car.
Please make sure to let your child's teacher know if any changes need to be made for dismissal through email, phone, or note.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
