Trojan Families,
Wow! We can hardly believe we are just weeks away from the end of another school year. The last day of attendance is Friday, June 9th; dismissal is 3:00pm. This day has also been designated for end of the year celebrations for our Kindergarten and 5th grade students. More detailed information will be sent to these families soon.
Registration is now open for the 2023-2024 school year. Registration is required for all new and returning students. Please do not delay this process. If you want information about registration, it can found on the EPCUSD401 website.
If you have a student requiring immunizations, you are encouraged to make appointments as soon as possible to ensure the requirements are met prior to the first day of school. Information about immunization requirements can be found here.
Congratulations to our 1st graders as they were the winners for least amount of absences this week! And another congrats to our 5th graders as they were the winners for least amount of tardies this week!
Keep it up!
With Trojan Pride,

No Dogs or Pets Allowed on School Property
There have been a number of parents voicing concern about other parents bringing dogs and/or other pets to school at drop off and pick up. We encourage everyone to be aware of the student handbook stating, "Do not bring animals to school. This includes bringing pets including dogs when dropping off or picking up your children."
Please be respectful to each other to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all. Thank you for your cooperation.
