How can I stay informed about what's going on at the school?
Our website is a valuable source of a variety of information.
The ELCA News page has information about current events updated weekly.
A weekly announcement, called the Charger Connection, is sent to families every Monday.
A Calendar of events is located on our website that allows you to search events.
School-specific emails are sent to families to provide important details for events pertaining to certain grades.

Does the school have any specific events that purposes to connect families with the administration?
Communicating with our families is a top priority. We start the year off with a Back to School Bash, which is a time to fellowship with our families, meet your child's teacher, and get class schedules. New families are invited to attend a fun event at the beginning of the school year, too, where we welcome them to our Charger family with food & fun.
Where do I drop off and pick up my child?
To minimize traffic congestion in the mornings and afternoons, we have designated drop off and pick up areas for the different schools available here. To learn more about your child's school car pool plan, please view our car pool page. If you have multiple children in different schools, please contact the specific school's secretary to work out the best plan for your family.
What are the uniform requirements for each grade?
Uniform requirements vary between the different schools. Uniform information and guidelines are listed on the uniforms and supplies webpage. As a convenience to our families, all uniform needs may be purchased at the ELCA Charger Store.
My child lost his hoodie - where might I find it?
Misplaced items are bound to happen in all environments. To aid in recovering lost items, we encourage families to label all items of clothing and supplies. When found, the items can promptly be returned to students. Non-labeled items are taken to school secretaries where they are kept for a short period of time. Please contact your school secretary if your child has misplaced a belonging.

FACTS SIS, provided as a quick link on the footer of the website home page, allows parents to see their child's average as well as specific grades on assignments. Additionally, parents may view their child's class schedule, attendance, conduct history and much more.
