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.  Every school day we are teaching and students are learning.  To that end, please make sure to schedule appointments, 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 day in school 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 of 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 infromation 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 changes to your child’s normal route. A complete note with ALL of the information possible will secure safe and orderly passage from the school to the correct bus stop 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.

Thank you for helping make this a great year at Etna Elementary.  We appreciate your support and all you do to make this a good experience for your child.  As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at 307-885-2472.
