Welcome back, ELANCO teachers and staff!🤩
Our buildings filled up this week with teachers and staff eager to get the 26/27 school year started! 🎒🏫

Our teachers and staff have been busy organizing classrooms, attending building/department trainings, and professional development sessions! We also had a special Safety and Security training session from our ELANCO School District Police Department, led by Chief Luciano and Officer Stoltzfus. 🚔🚨

A special shoutout to our administrators and support staff teams who worked all summer to prepare our buildings, classrooms, technology, curriculum, schedules, and SO much more to ensure our learners thrive! We appreciate everything you do behind the scenes to make ELANCO a wonderful place to learn and grow! 💻📋🧰🛠️
