Crew - What is Crew?
Crew is a smaller class that all students at ELMS participate in. It is designed to build close relationships with your fellow Crew members and your Crew leader. At ELMS Crew is multi-grade and gender specific (all girls/all boys Crew) where they sit in a circle every day.The Crew leader will be the primary contact for parents/guardians to discuss your child, school events, and any questions/concerns that parents/guardians may have throughout the year.
Students will receive a grade in Crew. Crew has various purposes:
- Relationship Building (with peers and Crew leader)
- Academic progress monitoring and supportive interventions

- Allows for students to be known well by at least one adult who serves as an advocate for the student’s academic and social progress
- School wide celebration
