Okaloosa County Schools will be participating in the Summer Food Service Program during the months of June and July.
Nutritionally balanced meals will be provided to all children regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age or national origin during the summer vacation when school breakfasts and lunches are not available. All children 18 years old and younger, if open site, are eligible for meals at no charge, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. The programs are only approved for geographical areas of need where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced-prince meals during the school year.
Summer feeding sites that are located at schools provide meals to all children in the immediate vicinity in addition to those enrolled in summer school.
See the list of sites by name, location, dates and starting and ending times of meal service.

School Advisory Council (SAC)
2021-2022
We are looking for members to be on our SAC committee next year. The job
requires a monthly commitment of time between a 1/2 hour to 2 hours (which is
normally only the first meeting). The meetings start at 3 pm on the last Tuesday
of each month. If you cannot make a meeting, advising Mrs. Diamond of your
absence will alleviate the bylaws required dismissal of member who miss 2
consecutive meetings. There are certain items that the state and district require
approval of SAC, such as fund expenditures (A+ monies, Title Funds) and other
items. Each meeting must have a 51% quorum in attendance. The School Advisory
Council also has input in the School Performance Plan, Parent and Family Engagement
Plan, just to name a few. It is a very important function at Elliott Point and we are in
need of new members for the upcoming school year. If you would like to know more
about being a member of SAC, please contact Mrs. Anita Diamond at 850-833-3355
during school and diamonda@okaloosaschools.com anytime.

Dear Elliott Point Family,
As many of you have already heard, on May 10, 2021, I was appointed by the Okaloosa
School Board to move to the position as Director of ESE and Student Services. I will
continue to be Principal of Elliott Point through the end of this academic year. Although
I will miss our school family, I look forward to the challenges this new position has to offer.
I will have the opportunity to work with families and schools across the district. I have loved
working at this school for the last nine years, with five and a half as Principal.
Thank you for your support over the years and allowing us to educate your children. The
students are very special to me and I strongly believe we have a marvelous faculty and staff
here who really help students move through their elementary school years.
On Monday, May 24, 2021, the Okaloosa School Board appointed Mr. Scott Nuss as the
new Principal of Elliott Point. He has done a phenomenal job as the assistant principal
for the last five years. I feel confident that this school is in excellent hands, and ready to
continue its outstanding reputation for providing an exellent education to all of our students.
Mr. Nuss is very excited to lead this school!
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve you, your children and this outstanding
school community, and hope you know I am especially proud of our students. I look forward
to hearing great things about their accomplishments as they continue their educaiton at
Elliott Point Elementary and beyond.
