April Attendance broke a new record! 🌟

This month, our students reached their highest attendance rate of the entire school year, with over 140 students who had perfect attendance!! This turnout had a massive impact on the success of CMAS testing, ensuring our students were present, prepared, and ready to shine. Thank you so much for getting your students here and being a part of our community! As we head into the school year's home stretch, we want to keep energy high. We have another exciting month ahead and we need you here to make it great:

Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8): Join us in celebrating our teachers who go above and beyond every day.

International Week (May 18-22): A week-long journey celebrating the diverse cultures and traditions that make our school community so special.

Let’s finish the year just as strong as we started this spring!

☕ Pastries with the Principal

Join us on Monday after drop off! We want to welcome your family to school to meet our new Principal, Mr. Anthony Muñiz! Starting the day together is a wonderful way to build our community, and we’d love to see you there.

We have two upcoming times for you to connect with our leadership, share your feedback, and get to know our new principal:

Monday, April 27th
Tuesday, May 19th

We will be mingling from 7:30-8:30 after student drop off. We look forward to seeing you there!

April Eagle Awards

This morning we celebrated our Ellis Eagles for their hard work in the month of April! Each classroom awards one student for Literacy, Math, English Language Development, Specials Classes, and Leadership. All of our Eagles with perfect attendance are honored as well!

Our May Eagle Awards will be held on May 21.
