Walk-A-Thon Donation!

Please begin by selecting "guest user" and then select "school shop."  Select Elk Meadow.   Walk-A-Thon information will appear.   Please list the student you are making a donation for in the information box.

Please call this number if you have questions about school being on time, delayed, or perhaps cancelled on snowy or icy days.  This number will have up-to-date information for you beginning at 6:00 a.m.  Please do not call our school office, as office staff may be late due to the weather.

Free and Reduced Lunch Applications

The applications for free and reduced lunch are now available.  Applications can be picked up at the main office or can be completed online.  Click here to access the form online.  A new application must be completed each year.

Transportation Issues or Questions

If you have any questions about bus routes, bus incidents, or if your child does not arrive at home as expected, please call our transportation department at 541-355-5700.  In the event your child does not arrive at home on the bus, please try to remain calm, stay at home, and call transportation.  They can quickly communicate with all buses to find "misplaced" children.  If a child is not on a bus, call our school office and we will begin checking with teachers and any friends of your child.  By staying at home, you will be there to greet your child instead of being in route to the school or out looking for your child.  We will expect children to follow regular procedures for going home, unless we get a written note or a telephone call from parents.

  Walk-A-Thon Computers Ordered!

Ten new student computers have been ordered from the money raised during our recent Walk-A-Thon.  Through collecting pledges, students raised enough money to purchase six new student laptop computers. Two Elk Meadow families donated the money to purchase a new computer each, and our PTO/TEAM parent organization donated the money to purchase two more.

Thank you to everyone for making this purchase possible.  Replacing our aging student computers will continue to be a focus next year.

Integrated Arts Proposal

A proposal to create an Integrated Arts Focus program at Elk Meadow Elementary School has been accepted by the Bend-La Pine School District.  This program will begin next year.

In addition to teaching our core academic subjects with high levels of fidelity, our staff will begin exploring places where "the arts" can be infused into our subjects and studies.  Using the visual arts, performing arts, and multi-media, students will gain knowledge, skills, and techniques in all mediums.  Teachers, in addition to using their own artistic skills, will have the opportunity to work with local artists and local venues to promote high levels of learning, student achievement, and creative expression.

Our "focus area" is similar to the dual-immersion language program at Bear Creek Elementary School, or the IB program at Bend High, in that it recognizes special interests and abilities of students.

We will move slowly as we carefully integrate and begin using the arts within our studies.  We will be sharing more information with you soon about our project.

Would you like to purchase a computer for Elk Meadow?

We have been approached by some families who are interested in donating the funds to purchase a computer for our students.  Donations like this would be appreciated and welcomed!  Computers must be purchased through our district technology department.  We get great prices due to volume purchasing.  Our current price for an Apple MacBook Pro computer is $1,099.00 each.  Computers donated in this manner will have a label affixed on them with the name of the person or family that donated it.  Additionally, names will be placed on a bulletin board in our computer lab recognizing their generosity.  Please contact me at:  bruce.reynolds@bend.k12.or.us if you are interested in this option.
