On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). The American Rescue Plan funds have been allocated to districts to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students. As part of receiving funds, the Ellsworth School Department must create a plan for use of the funds and give the public an opportunity to provide input in the development of its plan. We want your input on how to utilize the funds to best support our students.

Middle School Open House Postponed:
Due to the transition of me stepping into my new role I have decided to postpone the MS open house this evening. I have made this decision so that I can work directly with teachers to plan a positive open house experience for students, parents and staff. I apologize for the late notice.
We will be sending out a communication on Monday about the rescheduled date and times. If you have any questions please reach out to me directly twood@ellsworthschools.org.
Thank you,
Travis
