Please take note of the following lunch changes.

District Updates
February 2022
District Reminders
SchoolMessenger Alerts
Both the EPS District and individual buildings regularly use a parent messaging system called SchoolMessenger to send emails and phone calls to parents, including monthly information about building happenings, as well as school closings. If you did not receive a phone call and an email regarding our most recent School Cancellation, please reach out to your building secretary.
SchoolMessenger also allows recipients to “unsubscribe” from its mailing list; please understand that by “unsubscribing” you are completely removing your email address from ALL lists, including both District and building specific emails. If you have previously unsubscribed and would like to begin receiving emails again, please let your building secretary know.

Thank you for screening your student(s) daily and keeping them home when they don’t feel well. In addition to symptoms of Covid...
