Elwood Kicks off the School Year

Students were welcomed back on the first day of the 2015-2016 academic year on Tuesday.

Teachers and administrators spent the day getting to know the students, reviewing policies and delving right into academic lessons.

Tuesday was also the first day of full-day kindergarten for the district, an initiative made possible through the community’s support of the 2015-2016 budget.
