Welcome Back! Elm Street Middle School

Welcome Back! Welcome to Elm Street Middle School! We have devoted the summer to prepare for the upcoming year, and look forward to you joining us. As you are fully aware, the opening of school will be different than any previous year! Therefore, it is critically important to continue to check the District, Elm Street, and your child’s Team websites for the most current information. In order to navigate through these uncertain times, we need to foster and build upon our relationships and support each other as a community. As we learn together, it is important that we all remain flexible, open-minded, and have a growth mindset. The Elm St. Middle School administration, educators and staff are extremely excited to see your child(ren) and ready to engage each student in rigorous and relevant learning experiences.
