American Education Week is a time to thank the teachers and staff who dedicate their lives to teaching and supporting ECSD students. Your passion and commitment are truly inspiring.
Let’s continue to transform futures through education! 📚🌟

This past Wednesday our 1st through 4th grade had a wonderful opportunity to listen to a high school athlete read them! They read the book Just Like Caitlin. Every 2nd grader got to take a book home too! This was a gift from a family trust. Iowa Trust Bank also donated--thanks!







Students had the opportunity to travel to Iowa Lakes in Estherville today to partake in their SERT Exploration Day! Hands-on activities included electrical technology, environmental studies, HVAC, and wind energy. A few of our students even left with some fun door prizes! Thanks for the experience, Iowa Lakes!

Students in Mr. VerMeer's Ag Classes had an opportunity to create a holiday wreath. Students have some great skills and wanted to share their creations.


Students of the Week at West have been showing incredible E-Hawk pride through their hard work, kindness, and positive attitudes.🌟 A huge thank you to The Dental Loft for sponsoring the donuts from Casey's!



West is Grateful for many things!

We encourage everyone to take small steps toward a sustainable future. 🌏
Recycling, reusing, and reducing waste each help protect our planet. Let’s keep up these good habits on America Recycles Day—and every day! ♻️

This is a friendly reminder that ECSD students will be dismissed two hours early on Friday, November 15. 🙂
