We Are Exceptional Personalized Learning
Eastern Carver County Schools students learn at their own pace — it’s part of personalized learning. Students can easily work above grade level in reading and math, and in a few cases some students have gone to a middle school or high school for what they need.

As we conclude the school year, I would like to express my gratitude for the partnership you've demonstrated throughout the year.
Together, we carried the torch through challenges, growth, and celebrations, with one purpose: to support our students. That torch was lifted by families encouraging from home, students showing up each day with courage and curiosity, and a community committed to learning and belonging.
The impact of this year is immeasurable. What we’ve done together has helped shape not just what students know, but who they are becoming as they prepare for what’s next.
The ECCS Board heard a report out of the 2025 community survey from Peter Leatherman from Morris Leatherman Company at its Monday meeting. In addition to assessing community perception of the district, this year’s survey also gauged preliminary support of a potential operating referendum. Morris Leatherman has a long history with the district, and has done surveys going back 30 years.
At the Monday, April 21 school board meeting, the board heard a report from Executive Director of Finance and Operations David Brecht and Chief of Staff and Executive Director of Strategic Communications Celi Haga about budget planning and revenue options. The report, which reviewed the district’s financial position, cost containment strategies to date, and potential avenues to generate revenue, was a precursor to a board decision later this summer on a potential operating referendum.
It's Spring Break eve for students and staff across the school district!

Personalized Learning Happens in the Classroom
Purposeful Learning
Purposeful Learning
Teachers in Eastern Carver County Schools not only lead instruction but also facilitate learning for each student. They teach by guiding students towards mastery of content and instilling 21st century skills. Students have access to a variety of resources and tools, and teachers connect student learning beyond the classroom.
Engagement with Learning Tools
Engagement with Learning Tools
With teachers as facilitators, students use a variety of educational tools and resources to maximize learning. While technology will never replace the role of the teacher, it will shape the future careers of our students. Our goal is to prepare students for success beyond high school, wherever their aspirations take them.
Collaborative Environment
Collaborative Environment
Most living and working environments have changed dramatically over the last several decades. Design of spaces and their furnishings reflect purpose: how we live, how we work, and how we learn. We are redefining learning spaces with a variety of furniture, layouts and technology that facilitate collaboration, creativity, comfort, and safety. They also convey a sense of belonging and purpose. School should be a place where students feel welcomed and empowered to learn.
Learner Voice & Choice
Learner Voice & Choice
Students have the freedom to design the way they showcase their learning based on individual styles, experiences, passions, and needs. Respected as capable co-designers, learner agency is cultivated throughout all learning experiences. As learners become increasingly self-aware they grow into their own best advocates: showcasing their learning based on their individual styles, experiences, passions, needs, and knowing “what’s next” for their ongoing development.
