Digital Engagement Initiative

In Esko, we use technology to personalize and enhance learning. All students in grades 4-12 are issued an iPad for educational use as part of a 1:1 digital engagement initiative.  This program allows students to learn in an educational setting in which they choose and direct the course of the own learning in order to meet the complex demands of the 21st century.

On this page, you will find resources that will strengthen the partnership between home and school to inspire continuous learning at the Esko Public Schools.  The resources found on this page are tailored to help meet the needs of our families.  Feel free to use these resources as you feel appropriate to help meet the specific needs of you and your child.
