Elkhorn Public Schools

Calendar Changes for Second Semester

The winter of 2009-10 has been one of record proportion and there are still many more weeks ahead for additional cold, ice and snow. To date, students have missed a total of 6 days, or in terms of instructional hours 39.48 hours at the high school, 38.88 hours at the middle school, and 38.10 hours at the elementary school. Every hour lost is a missed opportunity for student learning. In order to address that lost instructional time the Board of Education at its January Board Meeting approved several recommendations made by the administration. Read More

Building Transfer Request due by February 15th

New within-district transfer rules will be followed to meet requirements in the Learning Community Law. Parents need to apply for a transfer at each level (elementary, middle and high school) if they want their child to attend a school other than the assigned school. This applies to families who reside within district boundaries as well as those who currently attend Elkhorn schools through option enrollment. Board Policy 502.07 requires that boundary deviations be based upon educational reasons. If families have educational reasons that may warrant consideration for assignment to a building other than their attendance center, a formal letter of request for a boundary exception should be submitted to the superintendent. The letter should clearly explain the unique circumstances and educational benefits of the reassignment. Please contact Elkhorn Central Office for more information.
