My name is Carly Olinger and I will be sending out monthly information regarding ENL information! ENL stands for English as a New Language. Our goal here at Tenth Street Elementary is to help these students and their families to become involved in school, successful in school, and to feel valued as a member of our Tenth Street family!

Greetings! I wanted to take a few minutes and thank everyone for their current involvement with this VERY important family involvement group. For those who are weighing back and forth with their decision to get involved here are my thoughts. First, we need you. Our parent or guardian involvement is at its highest demand and requests. We must collectively work together in order to show and model the importance that education is the top priority in your child's life. They need, I mean they "MUST" understand that working together as a learning community is the MOST powerful component to our school's improvement as well. From day one I stepped into Tenth Street Elementary School, I have ingrained in my staff's mindset that we must emphasize the power of improving our families quality of life. That is why each month at our food distribution you will see many of our staff members embracing conversation with their families and helping with loading their cars. What this really means is simple, a healthy family means a healthy, happy student. As we push forward through this school year here are some thoughts....
