Ellensburg Choice Schools

Message from the Principal

Welcome to Ellensburg Choice Schools! Whether you are part of our Virtual Academy or our Big Picture program, we believe that student success is rooted in a strong partnership between home and school. We are committed to providing a flexible, nurturing, and challenging environment that meets each student where they are, and your active role in that journey is essential.

In an alternative or online setting, success often comes down to the small, consistent habits formed at home. We encourage students to establish a dedicated, quiet workspace and a predictable daily routine to stay on track. By prioritizing 15–20 minutes of daily reading, managing screen time outside of school hours, and ensuring proper rest and nutrition, you help your child stay focused and ready to learn.

We also encourage you to celebrate growth, effort, and personal milestones as much as academic results. Please use ParentSquare to stay in regular contact with our staff so we can collaborate on the best strategies for your child’s unique path. We are honored to be part of your child’s education and are always here to support you.
