Hello Families,
Due to the ABSS budget issues, we are having to make some adjustments to our school budget. Due to this challenging situation, we are asking for family support in purchasing student school supplies for the upcoming year. PTO and our school are making efforts to engage the community through supply drives to help reduce the financial burden. If you are a family needing assistance, please contact our main office.

38 Days, 38 Schools: Elon Elementary truly stands out as a Global School. Upon entering the campus, one is immediately immersed in a rich tapestry of cultures. With a faculty comprised of educators from around the world, the school's 700 students benefit from a diverse array of perspectives. This global mindset is seamlessly integrated into the academics. Their Dual-Language Spanish Immersion program provides students with an exceptional opportunity to become bilingual from an early age. Moreover, the school hosts numerous cultural events and welcomes guest speakers throughout the year, effectively bridging classroom lessons with real-world experiences.
Elon's approach to academics extends beyond the classroom. One example is the community garden, meticulously maintained by the dedicated Garden Club, serves as a living classroom, allowing students to cultivate a profound appreciation for nature and sustainable living through hands-on learning. The diverse staff works hard to meet children where they are, providing a balanced education with opportunities to grow and connect with the world. These Lil' Phoenix are soaring!
