Dear Parents:

We are very aware of how lonely and confused you must feel as you sit down to read this.

If you are like the parents of most of our students, you are faced with an adolescent whose behavior is out of control, and you don't know why. A youngster who has been given everything and is throwing it away is difficult to understand, but you can see that this process is progressive. The most saddening part is knowing that your offspring is ruining his or her future. Your own pain is difficult, but your pain for your child is unbearable.

By coming to Elan, you have come to a truly different school. We cannot offer you miracles, but we can offer you hope. We know your journey to this point has been painful. We hope Elan School can change its course.

Sharon Terry
Executive Director
