Attendance

All things considered, our attendance this year has been good.  Our students have had a very low rate of COVID infection.  Thank you for taking all of the precautions you have and managing the whole thing so well.  Every day school is open we are teaching and students are learning.  To that end, please make sure to schedule appointments and vacations etc. outside of school time to the greatest degree possible.  We are still playing catch up.  If your child is not at grade level in math and reading, every school day is that much more critical.  Having every child ready for the next level is still our mission and our teachers pursue that goal each day.

Contact Information

The New Year is a great time to update all your contact information.  If you have not been getting periodic emails and phone calls from the school, that means we do not have what we need to contact you.  Communications during emergency situations will be done through email, phone messages, and also at twitter@EtnaElementary.  The District twitter is twitter@lcsd2wy.  Bussing information can be found on Facebook under LCSD2 Transportation.  Lastly, I would encourage you to friend the Etna PTO Facebook page to stay connected to their many happenings.

Internet Safety

No child is immune to inappropriate content on the web.  In addition, no child is above improper use of technology. Please know our monitoring software is very effective.  We have had to deal with inappropriate use of technology several times and it has proven regrettable for the students involved.

Bus Notes

Our transportation department faces logistical and geographical challenges every day.  To help them get all students home or to an alternate bus drop SAFELY and efficiently, please always send a note for any desired changes to your child’s normal routing.  A complete note with ALL of the information possible will secure safe and orderly passage from the school to the correct bus drop for your child.  Please know, calls to the school after 2:00 p.m. to arrange changes to your child’s transportation are very difficult for us to accommodate.
