Exira-EHK buses will run on gravel roads again starting Wednesday, March 24th.
Spartan Youth Leadership Club makes Happy St. Patrick's Day crafts for their Grand Pals at the Exira Care Center. HS Tag student, Tyler Petersen, leads the activity with the 5th graders. HS TAG student, Katie Andersen makes all the residents of the Elk Horn Salem Homes a lucky clover for St Patrick's Day! Great job Spartans!!!
Due to the recent weather and the new embargo of gravel put in place by Shelby county, we will run no gravel routes until further notice. We will only run on hard surfaces only. We believe at this time, that Audubon county will be following the same model as Shelby county. Your Exira-EHK bus driver will be calling you within the next 24 to 36 hours with the details of your new pick up and drop off location and times. Please be aware that these routes will run until further notice.

Mrs. Harris
Parents and Guardians,
Congratulations to the Exira-EHK Girls Basketball Team for earning a trip to the Iowa Girls State Basketball Tournament with their win over Lenox last night! This is an amazing opportunity for these ladies and we as a school and community want to support them in their journey, by giving our students, staff, and community the ability to attend the games.
Our quarterfinal match against MMCRU will take place at 4:00PM on Wednesday, March 3rd. We will dismiss students at 12:20/12:30, bus-riders/driver. Students driving over to Des Moines need to have a full driver’s license and not a school permit. School permits are only for home school activities and practices that take place at their home school practice locations.
If the girls win and advance to the semi-final round, the game will be played on March 5th at 2:00PM. We will have a virtual learning day for students and staff from 8:10 until 11:30. Students in each building will be responsible for attending, completing, and returning work or Google Meet sessions.
HS/MS Students:
• Teachers will conduct online, Google meetings with each class period. Schedule will be communicated on Monday, March 1st. This is counted toward attendance and if a student chooses to NOT attend the time will be made up during regular school hours.
• Teachers will provide an activity that meets educational standards and topics that will need to be completed by the next class period – Monday. March 8th.
Elementary Students:
• PK-2: Teachers will send home a packet of learning for students to complete and return to school on Monday, March 8th.
• 3-5: Teachers will hold “office time” to meet with students and provide a learning activity for students to complete by Monday, March 8th.
Information regarding state qualifying apparel will be communicated through school email and social media.
