Welcome to Elkhart Community Schools!!
Welcome to Elkhart Community Schools! We’re excited to meet you and welcome you to the ECS family!
Register online for kindergarten!
If you would prefer to register in person, our schools can assist you with completing online registration at the school. When you come to the school, please bring your child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and your proof of residency/address. We encourage you to bring your incoming kindergarten student with you to familiarize him or her with the school building and staff.
Check out our new eight-page Kindergarten Registration Guide to learn how you can help your child prepare for kindergarten (click on the image to open the file, or click here)!

ECS Elementary Schools and Boundaries
Our fourteen elementary schools are warm, caring, friendly places that are safe for children, families, community and staff. Students in Elkhart learn the foundation of their education through our elementary schools, and begin career and interest exploration. Elementary students are introduced to athletics, band, and orchestra. Students are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities in the community. Our diverse and talented elementary school staff are dedicated to being lifetime learners themselves. As dedicated professionals, they are eager to try new strategies and activities to help students achieve.
