Today, the Ellenville Central School District community pauses to honor and remember the heroes of September 11. Let's unite to pay tribute, support one another, and embrace a spirit of compassion as we reflect on the courage and resilience of those who faced unspeakable tragedy on this day in 2001.
The ECSD is proud to celebrate Arts in Education Week! This is a national celebration recognizing the transformative power of the arts. As we in Ellenville know, the arts are not just an outlet for creativity—they’re a vital part of learning that inspires innovation, builds confidence, and helps students express themselves in ways that words alone cannot. Three cheers for the arts and the positive impact they have on our Blue Devils!
Mark your calendars! Ellenville Jr/Sr High School families are invited to attend an Open House on Thursday, September 19, from 5-7 PM. This will be a great opportunity to meet your child's teachers, learn about course expectations, and explore the various clubs and activities at the school. We look forward to seeing you there and working together to support your child's success!
Did you know? Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school. Getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to: Reduce stress, make it easier to connect with friends and teachers, and support learning . Please contact your child's school if you need help with attendance. We will do our best to listen and partner with you so that our children have a successful year. #BeHereAchieveMore #AttendanceMatters
The new school year will bring with it new expectations regarding smartphones at Ellenville Jr/Sr High School. Smartphones have become a huge distraction in schools, making it harder and harder for students to focus on their work and get the most out of their school day. Studies also show a strong link between excessive smartphone use and depression, anxiety, bullying, social conflict and stress among adolescents and young adults. We know the new protocols will take some getting used to, but limiting smartphone use will help make Ellenville an even better place to learn. Visit our website at https://www.ecs.k12.ny.us/o/ehs/page/electronic-device-expectations to learn more. Thank you for your partnership!
