Bus Announcements

Changes to routes and busing are often necessary.  The district uses an automated calling service called ParentLink. In the event of poor weather causing delays or cancellations you will be contacted within minutes. If you would like to ensure your home number is on the system or to add additional numbers (cells, work, etc) please contact the office at 349-3232.

Parents are asked to contact their route driver or the office as soon as possible if students are not riding.

Town Stops
Any residents within the city of Ellendale may send their child to one of the indicated town pickup/drop points. The specific pickup time for each is unique but is approximately between 8am and 815am. Drop offs will occur right after school is dismissed and should be done within 15 minutes of 3:45pm. We would advise parents, new to the community, to take their child to the pickup point the first few days to ensure a consistent and successful start.

Internet Filtering
Ellendale Public School provides Internet filtering on all computers within the district.  This filtering is provided by LightSpeed and will filter content for our students not only at school but also when their iPad is taken off campus.  The list of filtered categories for the district is reviewed annually by the technology committee.  Persons can make request to filter or un-filter specific web sites at any time by emailing us. Please make sure to include the exact URL address, your reason for your request, and duration you would like to see the site opened for.  These applications are then reviewed and considered by the school administration and technology committee.
