We are pleased to share that thanks to the Community Eligibility Provision, all of our students will continue to receive free meals, regardless of family income, during the 2024-2025 school year. This means that all students who are enrolled in the Ellenville Central School District are eligible to receive one healthy breakfast and one healthy lunch at no charge each day that school is in session. No further action is required!
The ECSD is pleased to announce that it will once again be purchasing school supplies for students in PreK through Grade 12 for the 2024-2025 school year.

It’s National School Nurses Day, so let’s show our appreciation for those caring individuals in our schools who do so much more than apply band-aids, stop bloody noses, and hand out ice packs! School nurses are critical to all aspects of students’ health, and help to ensure our students’ academic success. They also play a key role in improving public health. In other words, our school nurses are superheroes!

Reminder: A solar eclipse will be visible in the afternoon on Monday, April 8. While Ellenville is not on the path of the total solar eclipse, we will experience a partial solar eclipse at a time that overlaps with the regular dismissal times for our buildings. As a result, we will have an early dismissal for students. Dismissal times will be as follows: Jr/Sr High School - 11:15 AM and Elementary School - 12:15 PM.
The District will be distributing specialized eye protection for all students to take home with them on April 8 so that under adult supervision, they can safely view the eclipse.
