Name Change Information

It is vitally important that the Human Resources Department have your current name and address information. If you move or legally change your name, there are forms that need to be completed so that personnel, payroll, insurance, and retirement information is correct. Please be aware that your name cannot be changed on your Elkhart Community Schools records until you have changed your name with the Social Security Administration and have furnished the Personnel Department with proof of having applied for the new Social Security card.

  • To change your name: complete this Elkhart Community Schools form and return to ECS Human Resources Department
  • To change your address: visit https://staff.elkhart.k12.in.us, click the “Menu” link at the top right, then Update Your Address.

Textbook Reimbursement

All Elkhart Community Schools’ employees are eligible to receive assistance from the district with expenses related to instructional materials provided the employee’s children are enrolled in the Elkhart Community Schools.

  • Employees are eligible to seek a reimbursement stipend for the amount paid by the employee to ECS, up to fifty dollars ($50.00) per student, for curricular material rental fees for the 2022-2023 school year.
  • To be reimbursed, the employee must complete the Reimbursement for Curricular Materials Fees Paid form (linked below) and submit it to the Business Office no later than May 1, 2023.
  • The employee must:
    • be the parent/guardian of the student,
    • provide evidence of payment, and
    • be an active employee as of the date of payment.
  • Only one parent/guardian can file for reimbursement if both parents work for ECS.
  • The following documents would be considered satisfactory evidence of payment: canceled check, email receipt from eFunds, school receipt, or a bank statement for electronic checks. Employees must submit proof of payment along with a completed Reimbursement for Curricular Materials Fees Paid form to ecsaccounting@elkhart.k12.in.us or send the documents to Dawn Lawson in the business office via interoffice mail.
  • Reimbursement of these fees will not be paid at the time the Business Office receives proof of payment.
  • The reimbursement will be paid with the employee’s regular payroll on June 09, 2023 but will show up as a separate deposit from your regular payroll deposit.
