At the April 12, 2011, Fremont School Board meeting, the Board voted to eliminate the combined position of the Elementary Principal/Special Education Director. Since that time, the Board has been working toward the restructuring of the administration at the Ellis School beginning in the 2011-2012 school year. It is anticipated that there will be one Pre-K-8 Principal, an Assistant Principal and a Special Education Director. Details of the positions are still under consideration.
The topic of administrative restructuring will be on the Fremont School Board meeting agenda scheduled for Tuesday, June 14, 2011, beginning at 6:30 PM in the Ellis School library.

Snow days
Good morning!
First, I want to thank all of you who attended the deliberative session Saturday. The turn out was far better than I expected. Don't forget the ballot vote on
March 8th!
Snow seems to be dominating the thought process of many of us! February is not over yet and we have had five snow days to date. If we have no more and the floods avoid us, the last day of school right now is June 22nd. This isn't too bad. BUT, if we get more days and go into the last week of June, it becomes more of an issue.
I'd like to get some feedback on ideas of how to make up days if we do get into the last week. The timing is too close to do anything for February vacation. What are your thoughts about making up a few days during April Vacation? Having school on Saturdays? Other ideas? I am not in favor of extending the school day unless absolutely necessary.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Info for parents with pre school children
Good morning and Happy New Year!
For my first post of 2011 I want to direct my remarks to those parents who have children not yet enrolled in school. Having just completed the book "Annual Growth:Catch-up Growth" I can not stress enough the importance of building the literacy and math skills of your children prior to the start of school. Reading to them daily, asking them questions about what you read is vital. Making sure that when entering the Ellis kindergarten, they have developed an awareness of the alphabet and numbers is very important. The world around us is filled with chances to practice these skills in natural settings. Simply going food shopping provides many opportunities to reinforce numbers, colors, letters of the alphabet and words. Building these skills can be a lot of fun and will greatly improve academic success when school begins.
For more information on specific skill, please contact me.
