The staff of Elkton Elementary and Junior High ELA classes is taking time today to learn from one of their own. Robyn Anderson shared her experiences implementing The Writing Revolution and the impact it has had on student learning.
Today’s session kicks off a year-long book study and implementation of The Writing Revolution across our elementary and junior high ELA classrooms. Our goal is simple: to give our students the tools they need to become stronger writers, readers, and thinkers.

The Elkton School is looking for substitutes in all areas: classroom, bus drivers, and kitchen staff.
If you or someone you know is interested, please contact the school (605-542-2541).
