Thank you all and have a great evening.

Good afternoon Stella Mayfield families. As with the positive Covid case in the primary grades, we have been notified of an additional positive case within our school in the upper elementary. Due to the complexity of the situation, we have been advised by health care professionals to invoke a pause to school and all after school activities on Monday, January 31st at Stella Mayfield. We know this may present difficulties to your schedule, but please understand this is for the health and safety of all students and staff at the grade school. Also, if your child was in attendance for fourth and fifth grade boys basketball practice on Thursday January 27th, an additional day out from school on Tuesday is required. Thank you for your patience as we continue to fight through what is out of our control.

Good evening Stella Mayfield families... This week, please be sure to check your student's backpack for their second quarter report card as they will be given to your child by their teacher and on to you.

You are always welcome to additional copies as well, just let us know. Thank you and have a great rest of your evening.

It's that time of year again. It's our annual walk-a-thon fundraising event. On May 19th and 20th, during your child's PE time, students will walk or run as many laps as they can around an 1/8 of a mile track. Prior to holding this event we are having students ask community members to pledge money for each lap they complete, or just a flat rate of any amount. The money will then need to be collected and returned to the school by May 27th. The proceeds will go toward upgrades and improvements to our elementary playground area. Also, the students who are the highest money earners will win a brand new bike. Thank you for helping support our Elgin Husky Elementary School. If you have any questions, feel free to call the elementary school at (541) 437-2321. Thank you and have a great evening.
