Superintendent's Update
School Closure Extended
Dear Jacket Families ,
Elysian Fields ISD is extending our emergency school closure to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. EFISD will remain closed through April 17. Online learning and meal delivery will continue throughout the closure.
It’s clear that our communities need more time to flatten the curve. Please join all of us in Elysian Fields ISD as we follow the emergency disaster orders and social distancing restrictions set forth by our city, county, and state officials.
Schools are not supposed to have empty hallways and quiet classrooms. I know I speak for all our administrators, teachers, and support staff when I say we truly miss your children! We are doing everything we can to provide meaningful online learning activities to ensure continuity of services for our students.
Our employees in the transportation and food service departments have been nothing short of heroic in their efforts to make sure students are well fed. The pictures and posts being shared online tell a story of a community that is resilient in the face of adversity.
Thank you, parents, for your patience and support during these difficult times. We are proud to be a part of a community that steps up to help and support one another when it’s needed most. We look forward to the day when we can reopen our doors and welcome your children back with a smile and a hug.
Sincerely,
Maynard Chapman, Superintendent of Schools
