Elwood Public Schools is looking forward to beginning school this fall! Teachers will report August 11, 2020 and we will welcome students on August 13, 2020. This year will most likely require flexibility with scheduling and changes to the previously made calendar. The district continues to work diligently to create re-opening plans that center around the safety of students and staff. These plans will be released the last week of July. Keeping the building and facilities clean and disinfected as well as incorporating social distancing when it is practical is a priority for the district. Please be assured that these measures are not being taken lightly. Currently the NSAA has endorsed the idea of starting Fall sports as previously scheduled. Practices can officially begin on August 10, 2020. Coaches are allowed to have a conditioning period the week before official practices begin. We plan to offer those conditioning sessions. Thank you for your continued support of Elwood Public Schools. We are excited to have students back in the building! Stay tuned for more information in the very near future. Daren Hatch Superintendent.

The village of Elwood could use your help. During a lunch meeting the village board heard and accepted an offer from USA Communications in Kearney to potentially wire the town with fiber and offer up to 1Gbps (Giga bits per second ) Internet access. As part of the grant USA Communications is applying for to fund this project they need letters of support as well as a speed test and your opinion on how Internet access may have affected you. While this project would probably not be finished during this school year it still greatly benefits anyone working or studying from home. Based on our past few months, access to fast Internet would certainly benefit all of us whether at work, being students at home or at play. Attached are some sample letters and a link to the speed test. We need all this by tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5 PM. The village appreciates your help and support in this endeavor that will benefit all parts of the community. Thanks for you help to improve the village as well as the students we serve at Elwood Public School.
