If worn improperly, backpacks can lead to neck and shoulder strain.
As we recognize National School Backpack Awareness Day, keep these tips in mind:
🎒 Use both shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly
🎒 Choose backpacks with multiple compartments
🎒 Straps should be adjusted to sit high on the back
Let’s stay safe this school year!

This year, we are again providing an opportunity for ALL students and their mental health. Classroom Clinic provides behavioral support and mental health services to students at school via telehealth. This means your student has the ability to see a therapist or a nurse practitioner, without having to leave the school.
If you are interested or want more information, reach out to your students' teacher, principal, or school counselor.


🌟Congratulations to our Middle School Student Council members for the 2024-2025 school year! 🌟
What a great group of E-Hawks to uphold our six pillars of positive character. Caring, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, and Citizenship.


Today, we join our community in reflecting on the events of September 11, 2001, and the heroes who emerged that day. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice. 🇺🇸


Today is Election Day! There is a ballot question for the Emmetsburg Community School District.
Learn more about this measure and how it plays a role in potentially creating a new school to serve our youngest students: https://www.emmetsburgbond.org.
A valid ID is required to cast your ballot. Find voting and polling place information here: https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/


As we observe Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we want everyone to know that your mental health matters. 💚
If you or someone you know needs support, don’t wait—reach out to our school counselors or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Hotline: https://988lifeline.org/.


REMINDER: On Tuesday, residents in the Emmetsburg Community School District will vote on a ballot measure that is the first step needed to construct a new facility to replace West Elementary School.
The question seeks permission to raise the district’s debt service levy limit to $4.05 per $1,000 of taxable property value. ECSD does not need to levy the full amount for this project and is instead proposing a rate of $2.83.
This plan would provide our PK-4 students with a top-notch learning environment where they can thrive and allow West to transition into an Early Learning Center.
