Educating all of our children today for their success tomorrow
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dear Ellwood City Area School District Families, Staff, and Community Members,
As part of our ongoing facilities planning process, the Ellwood City Area School District is investigating the possibility of transitioning from four instructional buildings to three buildings.
No decision has been made to close a school. At this stage, our responsibility is to thoroughly examine the options available to the District and provide the Board and community with the information necessary to make an informed decision.
As part of this process, the District is reviewing current and projected enrollment, educational programming, building capacity, facility conditions and future capital needs, staffing, transportation, operating costs, potential savings, and the impact that any change could have on our students and community.
An important part of this process is hearing from you. Please review the attached letter which includes information on a Public Hearing and Community Survey.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about this process, participate in the survey, and share your perspective.
IMPORTANT DATES:

Vision Statement
CONNECTION: We are a united, student-centered community where every child is known, supported, and valued. Through strong relationships with students, families, and community partners, we create safe, inclusive, and caring environments that honor individuality and promote social and emotional wellness.
COMMUNICATION: We empower students to express ideas clearly, listen actively, and engage respectfully with others. By fostering open communication across classrooms, schools, and the community, we prepare students to advocate for themselves and contribute meaningfully to the wider world.
COLLABORATION: We believe learning is strengthened through collaboration. Students and staff work together to solve problems, build resilience, and develop compassion, while partnerships with families and local stakeholders ensure shared responsibility for student success.
CREATIVITY: We inspire curiosity and creativity through rigorous, engaging instruction and meaningful integration of technology. Our classrooms encourage innovation, exploration, and imagination so students can think boldly and adapt to an ever-changing world.
