Our entire staff team has been preparing for an amazing school year and we are so excited to welcome our students back!
Several days last week at our annual Teacher Retreat our teachers and leadership team spent time digging deeper into PBL (Problem-Based Learning), small group instruction, and close reading. It was a special time of reconnecting with each other, welcoming new team members, and diving into planning for the year. We have an incredible and dedicated team, and we are so privileged to have them at Elevate. If our Teacher Retreat is any indication, it’s going to be a great year of learning for students!
We hope to see you all at Student Orientation this Monday, August 11 and then on the First Day of School - Tuesday, August 12. Please read on... you will find great information to help your student have a stellar start to the new year.

ParentSquare is the platform that Elevate uses to communicate with families and how you can communicate with your teacher and staff. Be sure to register and download the free App so you don't miss any updates, reminders, and emergency alerts! Learn how to get set up here.

Outerwear Update
Starting this school year, all students will be expected to wear solid grey or navy outerwear; this includes sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies, or jackets. To support a clear and cohesive uniform experience, we will begin the start of the school year with this expectation. Additionally, hats and hoods will continue to remain off while indoors. Please also remember to label all outerwear with your student's name.
