PARENT - STUDENT - SCHOOL COMPACT

A Promise of Commitment

We, the Ellsworth Community School staff, parents and community guide each child in achieving his or her greatest potential by providing a variety of experiences which integrate excellence in education with the child's individual abilities and unique talents. We share the responsibility, in a safe and secure environment, for student acquisition of academic, creative, emotional, physical and social skills necessary for entering society as contributing members.
