Dear ELV Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at ELV! Our mission is to ignite a love for reading, writing, and mathematics in our students every single day. We are dedicated to nurturing the whole child, combining academic rigor with social development to ensure every student thrives.

The joy of witnessing a child's growth from the beginning to the end of the year is one of the most rewarding aspects of being part of the Early Learning Village. As the year progresses, we hope you’ll see significant strides in your child's social skills and academic performance. Celebrate these milestones with your child and continue to encourage their passion for learning.

Our guiding principles at ELV—Love, Learn, and Lead—are integrated into all that we do. We believe these values are fundamental to our students' success, and we invite you to reinforce them at home. When students consistently embrace these principles, they are well-equipped for a successful future. We are excited to see the remarkable achievements they will make on their educational journey.

A strong partnership between parents, teachers, and community leaders is crucial for creating a thriving educational environment. We cherish the opportunity to collaborate with you and build meaningful relationships that support our students' success at ELV. Consider us a resource and a partner as your child embarks on their educational path.

Thank you for being a vital part of our community. Let’s work together to make this year a memorable and successful one for all our students!
