International Trip Spring Break 2026
Buen Viaje! The International Club will be traveling to Costa Rica and Panama over Spring Break of 2026. The trip will focus on learning about a new culture, practicing Spanish (not required, but encouraged!), and learning about the history and way of life in a new place, as well as lots of fun adventures.
If you have a student who would be interested in being a part of this adventure, there will be an informational meeting for students and parents on March 25th at 5:30 pm in the HS IMC. (There may be spots available for parents to join us on the trip, depending on the number of enrollees, as the trip is limited in size.)
At the meeting, we will review the basic itinerary, what to expect, and costs. We will also hear briefly from past trip participants.
If you have any questions, please email Anne Pechacek at pechaceka@ellsworth.k12.wi.us.

This message is going out to all families and staff due to the possibility of inclement weather going into the next number of days. At this time, there are no cancellations of school and this is simply for planning purposes.
Due to our mild winter so far, we have had no inclement weather cancellations to this point. This allows us some flexibility at this time. Due to this, any inclement weather cancellations in the upcoming week will be virtual learning days for students and staff. Emails will be sent by the building-level principals and staff regarding schedules and plans in the cases of inclement weather days.
This plan allows us to continue instruction as we enter the last week of the third quarter and also allows us to keep the Monday, April 1st day scheduled day off of school.
๐๐๐ง๐ง Our first graders have been on an amazing journey in Social Studies, diving deep into the world of Citizenship! ๐โจ From understanding respect, responsibility, and perseverance to embracing honesty, good choices, and teamwork, these young minds are shining examples of what it means to be good citizens! ๐๐ผ๐ค Let's continue to nurture these values in our little ones as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow! ๐ฑ๐ก
