Nancy Huntley, Mental Health Coordinator and former School Counselor, will be hosting an online book club for any Ellsworth School District parents who want to connect with others and learn practical strategies to help children and teens work through their fears and worries.
Books will be available for you to borrow if you don't wish to purchase your own.


Ms. Kissinger's outdoor adventure class hit off our survival unit by gathering resources to make their survival shelters, constructed them, and finally tested them out!






OT activity of the week: crayon rubbings! This is an excellent way to build hand strength and explore different textures. All you need is some paper, some crayons without their wrappers, and a bunch of different surfaces inside an outside. Print or draw the outlines of a bunch of leaves. Fill them in with different crayon rubbings, cut them out, and tape them to a string to make a lovely fall garland!

Also, the SCC tailgate has been cancelled due to the weather.

As we enter into October we begin to increase the chances of school delays or cancellations due to weather. The following outlines the process we will follow for inclement weather days this school year.
First Two (2) Inclement Weather Days:
The first 2 inclement weather days will follow our traditional systems of making up the school days in order to provide for as much in-classroom instruction as possible.
Although virtual days are an option for us, they cannot replace the instructional value of our regular school days. We traditionally have two days built into our school calendars. These days are as follows for the 2023-2024 school year:
-First Snow Make-up Day: Monday, April 1, 2023 (Monday following Easter)
-Second Snow Make-up Day: Friday, May 31st (Added at the end of the school year)
Additional Inclement Weather Days:
Additional inclement weather days will be virtual learning days for our students. Students and parents will soon be receiving additional information about the systems that each building will use in order to best prepare for these virtual days. Announcements will be made in these cases to remind all families that we will be following the virtual day systems we have in place.
As always, we will continue to monitor the overall days that are used during the school year to make further changes to the calendar if necessary that may include the addition of days onto the end of the school year if we have a large number of inclement weather days.
