At Elko County School District, we believe our individual health and collective wellness are essential to our success. The health and wellness of our students and staff is an identified pillar for the actions we chose in our plan to positively impact the learning of all ECSD students (Strategic Plan 2023-2026).

It takes a village…we’ve all heard that expression about what it takes to raise and guide a child. But what is in place to help parents with the difficult situations and tough conversations?

Elko County School District is providing a new parent coaching service through our partners at ParentGuidance.org. This confidential service is free for ECSD families. This service is not limited to one parent or household. Multiple parents and/or guardians have access to parent coaching.

Get Started TODAY: go to ParentGuidance.org, “Parent Coaching” and select "Get Started" to enroll.
