Dear Families of the Eleva-Strum School District,
This notification is to inform you of a change to our districts food service program. Yesterday, the USDA announced that it was extending the free meals for kids program through December 31, 2020 or until federal funds are no longer available to support the program.
All students in the Eleva-Strum School District will not be charged for breakfast or lunch meals. Please note, children will be charged for Ala Carte items along with any extra meals and individual milks.
Any student that is enrolled in the Eleva-Strum School District will be part of this food service change.

Come and celebrate the Class of 2020!

Starting in June the Feed My People Pop-Up food pantry will only be on the 4th Tuesday of the month. The pantry will not be available on the 2nd Tuesday any longer. This 4th Tuesday pantry will have dry goods, produce, and meat.

Friday, April 10th, from 8:00-8:20pm we will be participating in the #BeTheLightWI campaign. In order to honor our seniors, especially senior athletes, we will turn on the lights at the football field. We cannot gather together, but we encourage all to drive by. #Seniors2020


We will be posting some resources to help people in the district gain access to food, clothing, and other necessities as we are made aware of the availability. Please see the attached picture for information on a pop-up food pantry. Be well! #OneElevaStrum


Good afternoon parents. We as a district have determined that it is in the best interest of our students and community to close school at the end of the day today. Staff are working diligently today to prepare learning materials for students while the shutdown exists. Administration will be working to provide resources and communications to you via our website to assist the best we can during this time. There will be an opportunity tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17th to stop by the school to pick up medications and any other materials or belongings that you may need over the prolonged break. If tomorrow does not work for you, please contact your child's principal to set up another time. We will continue to provide updates during the mandatory shutdown period via phone calls and our website. Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented time.

Please note. At this time the School District of Eleva-Strum DOES plan to hold regular classes this Monday thru Wednesday in alignment with the CDC and State of WI recommendations. As of 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday the district will be suspending classes and access to its facilities until April 6 as per the order from State Gov. Tony Evers. Please visit our website and social media for future updates.
