District ACT testing is scheduled for October 27. Cost for the district test is $55.50. Any high school student who is wanting to register, please email or see Mrs. Wankum by August 24.

Welcome Mrs. Ashley Juergensmeyer to our school! We are so excited to have you!


Hello! My name is Ashley Juergensmeyer, and I am excited to be joining St. Elizabeth as the elementary music teacher this year.

I graduated from St. Elizabeth in 2007. After graduation, I attended SFCC, where I earned my associate degree in Early Childhood Development. I then opened my own daycare and had the privilege of caring for children and their families for the past 16 years.

My husband, Brandon, and I have three boys: Rowan, Brock, and Macklin. We love spending time together as a family, and our boys keep life busy, active, and full of fun with all of their activities.

I am thrilled to be joining the Hornet family, and I look forward to learning and growing alongside the students as we explore music through singing, movement, rhythm, and creativity!

We are switching to online registration this year! If you have already completed the online registration, you do not need to complete it again!

Inside the Nest – Episode 1: School Funding

We're excited to launch Inside the Nest, a new video series designed to give our community a behind-the-scenes look at public education and St. Elizabeth R-IV Schools.

In each short episode, I'll explain an important topic affecting our schools—from school funding and legislation to district operations and educational initiatives—in a clear, straightforward way.

Our first episode explores where school funding comes from and why school finance looks different from one district to another.
