Welcome to Fred Ekstrand Elementary School!

As the principal of Ekstrand Elementary, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school community. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our school is a place where students are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. We believe in fostering a love for learning through engaging and innovative educational experiences. Our talented and caring staff is committed to supporting each student's unique needs and helping them reach their full potential.

As part of the No Excuses University family of schools we recognize the challenges our students may have, however, we never make excuses for their success. We will teach every student with equitable practices to ensure they all have a chance to reach higher education if they select to do so.

At Ekstrand, we emphasize the importance of creating a positive and inclusive school culture. We value the diversity of our students and families and strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels respected and valued. Our goal is to build strong relationships between home and school, and we encourage open communication and collaboration with parents and guardians.

We are proud of our comprehensive curriculum that includes not only core academic subjects but also a wide range of enrichment opportunities. From arts and music to physical education and technology, we aim to provide a well-rounded education that inspires creativity and critical thinking.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the wonderful programs and activities we offer. Whether you are a current family, a prospective family, or a community member, you will find valuable information about our school, our programs, and our upcoming events.

Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to partnering with you to make Ekstrand a place where every child can achieve their best.

Warm regards,

Gerard Granade Principal
