We hope your summer has been enjoyable, and we are looking forward to welcoming your child(ren) to school on August 15, 2023! The following information will be beneficial as we look to the start of the 2023-2024 school year. Please review the information in-depth to ensure all requested tasks are completed.
Online Registration
EPS utilizes an online registration system for parents of returning students in grades K-12 to update information and complete all Back-to-School registration information. To use this feature, parents/guardians need access to a PowerSchool parent account. If you do not have a parent PowerSchool account, instructions for creating one can be found at https://bit.ly/EPSps1. On Tuesday, August 1, you will receive an email from PowerSchool alerting you to the opening of the Online Registration process. If you are unable to access your PowerSchool parent account or do not receive the email on August 1, please contact your child’s school for assistance.
Please note that we are continuing to clean up our contact database which includes consolidating duplicate parent and emergency contact entries. Knowing that, please make sure that only your student(s) is connected to your PowerSchool account. If you notice anything irregular about your PowerSchool account, please contact your school. As part of this process, we will also require all parent/guardian contacts to include a middle name or middle initial moving forward.
*Students, including all Preschool and Kindergarten students, who completed the New Student Registration process will not receive an email regarding the opening of Online Registration as they do not need to redo the online registration process.*
Athletics Registration
All EPS middle and high schools utilize rSchool for athletics registration. To complete this process, please visit https://elkhornps-ar.rschooltoday.com/. If you have any questions or need assistance with Athletics registration, please contact your assigned high school’s Athletics Department.
*Online athletics registration must be completed by the first day of practice in order to be able to participate.*
Online Payments
EPS uses SchoolPay for online payment of activity fees, device coverage, lunch funds, and other payments. Instructions for creating an account and using SchoolPay can be found here: https://bit.ly/EPSpay.
*Note: Payment for Device Coverage must be received no later than September 1 or coverage will not be provided.
Meal Information and Free/Reduced Applications
EPS also partners with SchoolPay for student lunch accounts. To add funds, go to www.schoolpay.com and log into your user account. If you do not yet have a SchoolPay account, instructions to create one can be found by clicking here.

Additionally, there will be no school for EPS students on Thursday, February 16, and Friday, February 17, 2023.
The instrumental music departments of the Elkhorn Public Schools are proud to present the first annual Elkhorn All City Honor Band Festival on Tuesday, December 6th at 7:00 PM. The event will be held at the Elkhorn High School Auditorium, located at 1401 Veterans Drive. The festival honors and challenges some of the most accomplished music students currently in the Elkhorn Public Schools’ programs by bringing them together for a day of music-making and growth, culminating with an evening concert open to the public. The program will feature a middle school concert band conducted by Kyle Dreessen, Elkhorn High School Band Director, a high school concert band conducted by Larry MacTaggart, former arranger of the US Air Force Band, and a high school jazz band led by Greg Simon from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Additionally, the concert will feature the world premiere of the new piece of music “Elkhorn River Portrait” by Larry MacTaggart.
Student musicians were nominated to participate in these ensembles and are a true honor roll of the Elkhorn Band programs, representing the top 20-25% of students involved at each school.
All EPS buildings will observe a Thanksgiving and Winter Break schedule to include the following no-school days:
