SCHOOL UPDATE
As you may have heard, changes were made to the prom dress policy and adopted by the USD 218 Board of Education. Last week, the board voted to rescind, or repeal, the updated prom dress policy. We will be inviting input from students, families, staff, and others in the coming weeks. This will be used to help us develop a new prom dress policy that reflects the needs and values of our community. Thank you for your patience and support as we continue this work. And thank you for all you do to make Elkhart a great place to learn and live.
