Affordable Connectivity Program
The FCC Affordable Connectivity Program is available to families in the district. This program offers free hotspots and data or internet services from a cable provider. All ECPS school students, except EECHS, are part of the USDA Community Eligibility Program (Free or Reduced Lunch). EECHS students may still be able to qualify if they receive free or reduced lunch or meet other criteria.

A few reminders:
- The tardy bell rings at 8:05am. Please make sure your student is in the building by 8:05am. Students not in class by 8:05am will receive tardy documentation.
- 11:40am is the halfway point in the school day. If your student checks in after this time or checks out before this time, he/she will be counted absent for the entire day.
- All students must be in uniform daily. See the image below for uniform expectations.
