Welcome Back EFISD JACKET Staff
2020-2021
A Message from Mr. Chapman
It is back to school time and this will surely be a year none of us will forget. While we are sad that we do not get to greet each other with our traditional "Teacher Convocation" in the morning, I am looking forward to a fantastic 2020-2021 school year with each of you. The field of public education continues to evolve and challenge all of us. COVID-19 has changed the way we will operate, but it will not change the love and passion we have for our students.
As always, I'm confident you will recognize these challenges as opportunities, as the chance to make a profound impact on our students. They need us now more than before. Let's continue to impact the world by molding the leaders of tomorrow and making our world a better place for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Maynard Chapman, Superintendent of Schools
