Good morning, ECSD families and community members! ☀️ Today is the first day of school for all pre-K through 12th-grade students!

Let’s keep everyone safe. 🚌 🚦 Important Reminders: 📆 ECSD schools operate on a four-day schedule. Most start times remain the same as last year, but please check with your student’s school or visit our Back-to-School Information page: https://www.ecsdnv.net/page/back-to-school-information Due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, school will be in session next Friday, September 6th. We’ll send reminders. 📱 Stay connected by downloading the Elko County School District App from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

At ECSD, our students Grow Here and go Anywhere!

In recognition of the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their potential to enhance educational experiences, the School Board is developing a new AI policy. This policy guides the responsible and effective use of AI tools within our schools, ensuring they align with our mission and values. To ensure that this policy meets the needs and expectations of our school community, the school district administration has created a proposed policy and survey to gather your feedback. Your insights are very important in helping us shape a policy that supports our educational goals while addressing your concerns. Please take a moment to review the proposed AI policy and share your thoughts by completing the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b2dGSCyX4VBHvM8LO8SyUoGE4bcSdSeP-dAJIOwkeMA/viewform?ts=66a81461&edit_requested=true
