For the 2022-2023 school year, EHS and CTE will hold joint fire drills in September, October, December, February, April, and June. The September fire drill will be the week of 9/5/22.

We will hold run-hide-fight/resist training in September, November, and January.

Please visit the EWSD District Safety website for additional information, and feel free to reach out to Garry Scott, Director of Facilities & District Safety, at (802) 857 - 7043 should you have questions.

Parking: Starting on September 12th, 2022, students will need a parking permit to park on school grounds during regular school hours. Juniors and Seniors can apply for a permit here.

Parking permits will open up for Sophomores later in the school year based on availability.

Visitor parking is available in the horseshoe loop in front of the school.

Attendance is an important piece of student learning and experience at Essex High School. It's helpful that we know if students will be arriving late, being dismissed early, or absent from school.

Please call our attendance line (802) 879-5507 or fill out the attendance form on our website under the 'Report an Absence' icon letting us know of any changes in your student's attendance.

If your student is leaving early or coming in late-please have them stop in the main office for a blue slip. Blue slips allow the teacher to know the student has an excused and verified late arrival or early dismissal.

It is important that students arrive at school on time. School begins at 8:00 a.m. Students may enter the building starting at 7:30 a.m. Any student arriving late to school is expected to check in with the Student Attendance Specialist in the Main Office.
