Elm Creek Public School District

We cannot wait to see everyone at band camp! Incoming Seventh grade parents, if you're not sure if your child is signed up for band, email Mrs Reiter!

With the start of the new school year, we would like to reach out to see what interest there is for students to be part of the One Act team this year. We will be working to get an official meeting set up the first couple of weeks of school, and get the play selected at that time. Please take the time if you are interested to fill out the attached google form.

We look forward to working with all of you!
