Residents of the Ellsworth Community School District recently received a mailing from the district with introductory information about our upcoming April 2, 2024 Facilities Referendum. Over the course of the coming weeks there will be many more communications that provide residents much more information about the middle school and high school projects being addressed.
Upcoming planned communications included videos, mailings, social media posts, and attendance at many school and community events to answer any questions residents may have. In addition, we have a referendum information page up and running on our school district website at www.ellsworth.k12.wi.us. We encourage residents to visit this page to see the latest information.
Over the coming weeks I will also be writing a number of short articles that individually address the various projects along with financial impacts and visioning for the district. I hope that these articles are beneficial for all residents to best understand the rationale related to these projects and our long term vision.
As always, our staff is always available to address any questions residents may have. I strongly encourage residents to connect with me by phone (715) 273-3900 or by email at cainb@ellsworth.k12.wi.us.
Lastly, we are also available for tours of our facilities so that residents can see the planned projects firsthand regardless of the size of the group. Just let us know and we can make it work for you!
Thanks and look for much more information to come!

Superintendent

Not-On-Tobacco~ A Proven Teen Smoking and Vaping Cessation Program
THE GROUP WILL BE STARTING FEBRUARY 1ST FROM 1-2 ON EVERY THURSDAY.
This is a voluntary program that you can sign yourself up for if you are looking for help with your tobacco use. Unlike other cessation programs that simply modify adult curriculum, N-O-T was designed with teenagers in mind and addresses issues that are specifically important to you!
This is a 10-session program:
Session 1: Reasons for Quitting
Session 2: Why I Smoke/Vape
Session 3: Nicotine Addiction and Triggers
Session 4: Effects of Smoking/Vaping
Session 5: Physical, Psychological and Social Benefits of Quitting
Session 6: Quitting Nicotine Use
Session 7: Overcoming Obstacles to Quitting
Session 8: How to Deal with Stress
Session 9: Myths of Big Tobacco
Session 10: Staying Committed to Quitting
These confidential, small group meetings will be run by Kathy Asper from Arbor Place and Ms. "Hutch" Hutcheson. We will start the group on February 1st from 1-2 at the high school and will be held 1x/a week. We want to be clear that we are offering these groups to support you~ not to judge, shame, or discipline you!
