Spring break is sneaking up on us! Make sure you have this on your calendar. If not, start making plans now!
Spring Break is March 25-28, 2025.
Attendance Matters:
A habit of attendance IS a school readiness skill. Along with social-emotional and readiness skills, consistent on-time attendance is a habit that lasts. Children who are chronically absent in early grades are far more likely to be chronically absent in later grades.
We are thrilled to share that our recent state bus inspections resulted in a perfect 100% rating. A heartfelt thank you to Paul LaBanca and his dedicated team of bus drivers for their unwavering hard work and commitment to the Elsberry R-2 School District. It's a great day to be an Indian!
