Welcome back letter
School Bells Ringing Again Soon
A new school year will begin for students on Thursday, August 13th. A new school year brings excitement and hope for the possibilities of the many activities and experiences over the next nine months. A new school year provides a clean slate and a chance to improve on the past. Our recent accomplishments of US News and World Report’s Top 40 College Prep High Schools, District of Distinction by DA Magazine, Positive Behavior Awards and National School Public Relations Association Golden Achievement Award will serve as a stepping stone of future accomplishments and the improvement of the perception of our school district locally as well as regionally.
Excelsior Springs School District looks forward to a new school year and seeing familiar as well as new faces in every school building. Whether you are a new family to our school district or a returning one, please contact any school employee if you have questions or concerns. We look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
Welcome back to school!!

Our District - There's an app for that!
As part of our ongoing commitment to communicating with stakeholders we’ve partnered with SchoolMessenger on the development of our very own app.
Download the app now for your smartphone or tablet using these links or search for our app by name – Excelsior Springs School District – in the Apple App Store and Google Play for Android:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.relianceco.cma.excelsior&hl=en
The app is designed to provide easy access to school and district information including calendars, lunch menus, sports schedules, notifications, social media and more. And this is just the beginning. Based on your feedback we envision continuing to build out the app to meet future needs.
