When school must be cancelled or delayed due to inclement weather, announcements will be posted on Penn-Harris-Madison’s main website http://www.phmschools.org/. Announcements are also made on the following television stations: WSBT (Channel 22), WNDU (Channel 16), WSJV (Channel 28), and ABC (Channel 57). Or, you can listen to WSBT radio (960 AM, 101.5 FM), WNDU radio (1490 AM or 92.9 FM), WRBR (103.9 FM), or WYBT-B100 (100.7 FM).

Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for winter weather. Recess is generally held outdoors when the temperature (with wind chill) is above 0 degrees. Children are on the playground for approximately 20 minutes. Winter coats, hats, boots, and gloves are essential for children to stay warm and comfortable during recess.

Elm Road Elementary School strives to maintain a learning community whereby all students are expected to perform at high levels. This vision is manifested in the school motto, "Putting Dreams into Flight." In addition, we recognize the need for providing a safe and orderly environment conducive to learning. Elm Road's "Positive Schoolwide Behavior Support Plan" was developed as a proactive, rather than reactive support system.

Volunteers are needed and appreciated at your child's school. Donating a few precious hours of your time can make all the difference.
