Childs Elementary

Today, Dec. 12, all MCCSC schools will move to real-time (synchronous) eLearning due to inclement weather. Classes begin online at the regular time. You will receive eLearning information via Canvas from your teacher or school. All in person programs, which include the Early Learning Centers (both North and South locations), preschools and pre-K programs, and extended day will be closed. All extracurricular activities are canceled. Any approved exceptions will be communicated directly to coaches and families.

In addition, all MCCSC Saturday events are canceled. We have been closely monitoring this weather system, and forecasts predict approximately 4-6 inches of additional snowfall. To help families and staff plan, we felt it was important to make this decision as early as possible.

Food service pickup for families will be available at Templeton and Fairview Elementary from 12-1:30 p.m. Families should RSVP at the form here to request the number of meals that are needed. Pickup at Templeton at Door 13. Pickup at Fairview at Door 12.

At Childs, we have over 550 students in preschool through sixth grade and our goal is to recognize each child’s individuality and make each child feel special and included. Parents, teachers, administrators, staff, and students all contribute to developing a learning environment that enables each child to meet their maximum potential. Childs is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School where creating life-long learners is a high priority. This is evident as you walk through the halls, visit the classrooms, and view the products of our thematic and literature-based curriculum. Childs Elementary is recognized for its commitment to sustainably providing the essential elements of a wildlife habitat and providing students with a place to learn outdoors and connect with nature. Childs Elementary School was named after Laura G. Childs, a longtime teacher in Bloomington. She taught Botany and Biology at Bloomington High School from 1919 to 1949.  Mrs. Childs passed away in 1955. She was noted for her special interest in and assistance of children.
