Elm Creek Public School District

Dear Families, We recently found out there was an issue with our original Kiwanis backpack registration form, and it did not correctly collect responses. We're very sorry for the confusion this may have caused. To make sure every child who needs a backpack is included, we’re asking all families to please complete a new form using the updated link below. The new form will stay open through July 23, 2025. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. We truly appreciate your help in making sure every student is ready for the new school year! Link: https://forms.gle/xTSCkEB4KyU6zgQA6

Huge shoutout to Ethan for scoring a 31 on his official ACT score from the test he took this summer! He will be a Sophomore in the 2025-26 school year. He will get his name on our ACT 30+ record board that was established in 2023. WAY TO GO ETHAN!!!

Here is an opportunity to get your student's sports physical completed before the upcoming school year! You do not have to be a current patient of this clinic. **As a reminder** If you have an incoming 7th grader, they will need a complete physical with immunizations done. A sports physical does NOT take place of a 7th grade complete physical.

Congrats to Coach Jadyn Ehresman. She has been officially nominated for the Nebraska Women's Athletic Leadership Alliance Under 30/Trailblazer Award. Jadyn's leadership has clearly made a meaningful impact on the student athletes she works with, and this nomination serves as a testament to her influence and professionalism. Winners will be announced on July 21st at 7:00 pm. Good luck Coach Ehresman! You would be a very deserving award winner!!

Just a reminder -- The deadline to register your K-8th grade student for a free backpack is 06/20/2025! If your family qualifies for free/reduced meals, your child qualifies to receive free school supplies. Use this link to get your student registered. https://forms.gle/qEu7MBnKTGfhuwXf6
