RESOLVED as of 7:05 am- Update as of 6:30 am on April 30, 2026--External calling in the District is currently unavailable. At this time, we are unable to place outbound calls or receive incoming calls from outside the district. The issue appears to be related to our service provider, and our Phone Team is actively investigating. Internal calling between extensions remains fully operational. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 🍎✨

Today, we celebrate the incredible administrative professionals who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Your dedication, patience, and excellence do not go unnoticed. Schools simply wouldn’t function without you! #GoExpress

Phone System Maintenance Notice

The Elmira City School District would like to inform our community of a brief, scheduled maintenance to our regional phone system.

Date: Monday, April 20
Time: Beginning at 4:00 PM
Duration: Approximately 10 minutes

During this time, phone services across the district will be temporarily unavailable.

This maintenance is being completed outside of school hours to minimize any disruption to students, staff, and families. Because this work is coordinated with an external vendor, it must take place during this scheduled time.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we complete this important update.

The Elmira City School District open on a 2-hour delay today, Monday, February 23, 2026. ❄️ Travel safe! #GoExpress

Attention PreK Families! We hope your child is having a wonderful year in our Pre-K program!

As we begin planning for the next school year, we want to ensure that your child’s transition to Kindergarten is smooth and that we reserve their spot on the roster as early as possible.

If you intend to enroll your child in Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year, you can now complete a Kindergarten Letter of Intent Form found on the District website. Completing this form now allows you to secure your child’s space on the Kindergarten roster without needing to complete the full Kindergarten enrollment packet at this time.

Congratulations to the following athletes for competing at Class A sectional prelims and now qualifying to move on to the Section 4 Class A Finals on Saturday.
