Now that the kids are on Winter Break, it appears that the West Carrollton Elementary elf has left the building. He was last seen on Friday morning, visiting classrooms and riding his scooter through the halls, but we haven't seen him since. Do elves take Winter Break, too?
There will be NO SCHOOL December 22 through January 2 for Winter Break. Students return Monday, January 5.

The Grinch was feeling Grinchy when he came to visit the Early Childhood Center, but it didn't take long for the kids to warm his heart!






Is anyone missing an elf? We have one at the Elementary School that keeps appearing. He usually comes out in the morning when the kids are coming in to school. On Monday, he was tangled in lights. On Tuesday, he was napping in the trophy case. On Wednesday, he was reading a book. This morning, he was on the roof! We haven't been able to catch him yet. Maybe tomorrow.


Due to weather conditions, all West Carrollton Schools will be closed today, December 2.
Fall Break is November 24 through November 28. There is NO SCHOOL for students. Students will return on Monday, December 1.

We are paws-itively excited about having a new girl in school! Tabitha (Tabby) just graduated from Therapy Dog school. Tabby's role model is her big sister, Sammy the Therapy Dog. Sammy has been working in the schools for many years with her person, Erin Newsome. Sammy will continue with her therapy duties, and whenever she takes a day off, Tabby will take over. Sammy has left big paw prints to fill, but Tabby is ready for the challenge!

Elementary students were dressing like their teachers or favorite school employee today. One teacher joined in on the fun. Miss Ward dressed like her favorite school custodian, Johnny Ward, who happens to be her dad!

Mr. Thobe has an admirer. Today at the elementary school, students are showing they are thankful for their teachers by dressing like them. Connor wanted to dress like Mr. Thobe because he’s one of his favorite people. Good job, Connor! We are thankful to have you as a student!


WC Elementary celebrated Hat Day, but it wasn't just for the students!

Today is World Kindness Day. If we start kindness at home, kids can take it to school and share it with their teachers, support staff, and classmates. Teachers, support staff, and classmates can take it home and share it with their families. It can keep spreading from there! Let's make the school district a kind place to be!

Miss Ward's elementary class wanted to share a special message!
