Important Info for ECFE Class Registration!! If you do not have a Skyward account, or if you do, but you are going to register one of your kids who isn't in your account yet, then you should complete the New Student Online Enrollment (NSOE) process. It will help if this is completed before August 8th so that when registration opens, you can easily choose the class you want. You are unable to chose a class if you don't have a Skyward account or the student in your account. Here's some more help...

On Tuesday, July 22, our school board unanimously approved a resolution to present district voters with a single-question building bond referendum this fall. On Tuesday, November 4, residents will decide whether to invest $21.7 million for critical facility and educational improvements at both schools by casting their vote.
