Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

Just a friendly reminder that James Street is a one way street once you hit our parking lot. Too many parents are driving down the one way and we have seen too many close calls. Please drive around the parking lot. We are asking this of our staff on both sides of the building as well.

If you are parking on the sides of James St please make sure your children are exiting the side of the car closest to the sidewalks. There have been many complaints about young children being in the middle of James St.

Arrival Times for the morning is 8:45a-8:55a. Dismissal is 11:25a-11:30a. We are asking that you respect the teachers and not let your children play close to the classroom windows after AM dismissal. Often times there is an evaluation or team meeting going on. We recognize that play opportunities are important for young children and we can direct you to the nearest park two blocks away.

Arrival time for the afternoon session is 12:35p-12:45p. Dismissal is at 3:10p-3:15p for Door 1, and 3:15p-3:20p for Doors 3 & 5.

If a student is not able to picked up off the bus or a parent is late picking up at dismissal your child will then go to ABACUS and a fee will be assessed.

Classroom Spotlight: Behavior Team

Hello! We are Rachel Hall (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) and Liz Wuilleumier (Registered Behavior Technician) and we support students behaviorally at the ELC. Together we have 30 years of experience in education and we know that all behavior is a form of communication. We love teaching kids to use their words (or signs or devices) and help them organize and access their environment using visuals. We both have preschoolers at home, so we live and love the littlest learners all day.
