The Mission of Polk County Public Schools is to ensure rigorous, relevant learning experiences that result in
high achievement for our students.
Principal’s Pen
Dear Parents,
Can you believe that the
school year is almost over?
We have less than 30
school days left to go
before summer
vacation. Please help us by
reminding your child that it
is important to continue to
concentrate on studies and
behave in class.
We are planning promotion
/retention meetings for
students. If you have any
questions communicate with
your child’s teacher.
It is starting to get hot so
please remind your child to
drink plenty of liquids and
be careful of the outside
heat.
Thank you,
Mr. Dawson
Donations Needed
As you are cleaning out old
clothes, please think about
donating any Elbert uniform
shirts, shorts, or pants. By
the end of the year, we
are out of these items to
use for our students. And
if you would like to donate
any NEW underwear or
socks, we would greatly
appreciate it.
