Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week Days

Monday- You're too smart for drugs (dress nerdy)

Tuesday- You're a Jean-ious for not doing drugs (wear your blue jeans)

Wednesday- Doing drugs is corny (we will conduct our school wide candy corn class prediction)

Thursday- Get hooked on books not drugs (we will have 15 min. of reading time and bookmark making)

Friday- We have Drug-Free Spirit (wear Ellison wear)

Homework Packets

Homework packets will be coming home each Monday.  The packet will consist of two math assignments and two language assignments.  These papers will be review work in order to keep the skills “fresh” in your child's mind.  The packets will be due on Friday of each week, so your child can work on these when their schedules permit.  This is a new school-wide requirement.
