Dear Laytonville Elementary School Parents,
Welcome to the 2023-24 school year. I hope all of you have had a restful and enjoyable summer. We are eagerly anticipating the opening of the school year on August 17, 2023.
Our custodial staff has been working diligently getting the classrooms and grounds ready. The playground and parking lot are completed and the kitchen remodel should also be finished at the start of the school year.
All staff have been working hard to prepare for the start of the year by attending various trainings. They look forward to serving your students at Laytonville Elementary/Middle School. I’d like to welcome Raquel Thomson to our elementary teaching staff. Administration is working on staffing for classes and class lists. The class lists will be posted Wednesday, August 16th.

RULER is an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that supports school communities in: Understanding the value of emotions, building the skills of emotional intelligence and creating and maintaining positive school climates. This year teachers will teach the RULER curriculum in their classrooms. This program is brought to us through the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.
