New District Student

Sometimes life takes us on an unexpected journey. For kids, that may mean a move to a new community, and thus, a new school.

Here at EES, we accept new district students throughout the academic year, August-May. These are students who have moved from a distant city or State to Ellsworth, Kansas. While it would be most beneficial for a student to start at the beginning of the academic year, our students and faculty will work diligently, together, to help them integrate into our community regardless.

Below are the steps to follow to transfer your student to USD 327:

  • A black paw print is centered on a white background.

    All New District Student enrollments must register through the District Office. Please call 785-472-5561 or visit 145 W 15th Street, Ellsworth, Kansas 67439.

  • A black paw print is centered on a white background.

    The District Office will prepare an online enrollment form for you. Be sure to also fill out our Consent for Disclosure form, Free/Reduced Lunch Program Application, and any medical forms relevant for your student.

    Keep in mind, families of students living more than 2.5 miles from the nearest bus stop and are within the district territory, must indicate on their enrollment registration that they would like travel reimbursement. The District will pay mileage for trips made, not to exceed two round trips per day. New students who register during the school year have seven (7) days from the day of registration to notify the District Office that they qualify for mileage reimbursement.
