A Message from the Principal...
Welcome to Ella Canavan Elementary. At Canavan, we encourage students to reach for the stars everyday. While our focus is on student learning, we work to make sure our students have multiple opportunities to explore different activities. With club choices such as chess club, theater club, glee club, 24 club, garden club, knitting club, art club and many more, the possibilities of finding an interest are high.
Our PTO is very active at Ella Canavan. Through their dedication, they are able to sponsor many programs at our school. Some of the programs PTO sponsors include MadCap Puppets, COSI, Kidscripts by Magical Theater, agendas for grades 2-5, a book for every student during Right to Read week and field trips for each grade. With their generosity we are able to extend learning beyond the classroom and provide enrichment opportunities for our students. To learn more about our PTO, feel free to come to a meeting. PTO meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the Canavan Media Center.
Sincerely,
Brian Condit
Principal

Winter Dress
Weather permitting, students have recess outside each day. A decision to have outside recess during cold weather depends upon the temperature and the wind chill factor. All students will be outside for recess when the temperature is 20 degrees and above. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. Boots, hats, scarves, gloves and warm coats are necessary.
Eating Lunch with Your Student
Parents are always invited to join their child for lunch in the school cafeteria. If you wish to purchase a school lunch, please call the office in the morning before 9:15 and order a lunch.
MCS Elementary Lunchroom Visitor Guidelines:
1. All adults should check in the office when arriving to eat lunch.
2. Any adult eating with a student should be the student's guardian or on the student's contact list provided from parents or have provided the office written/verbal permission from the student's parents.
3. Adults will be given a visitor's pass and can only enter the cafeteria.
4. When lunch is over, adults should sign out of the office and return their visitor's pass.
