Elwood Public School teachers and staff will be driving through Elwood--in a parade fashion-- on Thursday, April 16th, at 10:00am to say hi to our students from a distance! We would love it if you would stand in your yard to wave and shout hello! We have posted a map of our route in case out of town families would like to sit in their vehicles along that path. Please remember, no groups of 10 or more, and everyone should stay 6 feet apart! We are excited to see the kids while still keeping everyone safe!
All of us at Jostens wish you and your family good health and safety during these unprecedented times. As the world adjusts to change, one thing that remains constant is the yearbook tradition. We are honored to work closely with amazing schools like Elwood High School to ensure that the 2020 yearbook is completed, printed and delivered to students. The yearbook will capture the story of this unique school year.
You can purchase your yearbook at the link below.

All remaining NSAA activity practices and competitions, including district and state competitions, have been cancelled for this school year. These cancellations are part of a new Directed Health Measure issued by Governor Ricketts.
Getting ready to pour footings for the addition.
Mr. Kleine will be at school from 11:30-12:00 this morning if you're having an iPad problem and want to stop by.
Footings being dug. If Mother Nature will cooperate, footings will be poured on Thursday.
We are aware of issues with Schoology the last couple of day, pages not loading or problems logging in at times. As you might imagine there is such a high level of usage right now these problems will crop up. If you continue to have problems logging on please contact Jim Kleine and he'll look into it. You may also want to contact the teachers directly for files and information related to their class. Thanks for your understanding.
Elwood Public School will be making the move from Enrichment to Education for all grades except 1st and Kindergarten starting March 30th . What that means is all assignments from that point forward will be expected to be completed and will be graded. Elementary parents please contact your child’s teacher via email, or the normal class communication for further instructions on each class. High school students be sure to check your ipads for upcoming assignments. Please remember that this is new to everyone and we will do our best to prepare your students for the next level in their educational careers.
Elementary parents: ipads are ready to be picked up for grades 1 through 6 at the south door of the school. They may be picked up from 8:30 to 3:00 on Thursday or Friday. If you need to pick them up earlier please contact the school and schedule a time. When you show up to the school we will bring your child’s items to your vehicle. Parents need to show up to do this as you are required to sign the iPad handbook form. You can read the iPad handbook by going to the school web page at elwoodpirates.org, click on MENU, click on DOCUMENTS, and then scroll down to IPad Agreements.
Here is a copy of the guidance we received as it relates to our closure through April 30th.
All NSAA activity practices and competitions are suspended through May 1. These suspensions may be extended should the conditions warrant.
Member schools and student-participants are expected to adhere to the NSAA Constitution & Bylaws and activity manuals during this time.
The NSAA encourages all member schools to follow CDC, local, state and federal health department recommendations.
As more information becomes available, official updates will be posted on the NSAA website and the NSAA social media platforms.
