Edmond Public Schools -

Kindergartners are officially in their classes this week! 👏

Across the district, kindergarteners get to spend the first week of school trying out different kindergarten classes so we can find the best fit for each student and set them up for a successful year.

Classes are color coded during the process, and once students are sorted, they get to take pride in their class color! ✨ #EdmondExcellence

Our newest Edmond Transition Academy building is already serving our students and staff well! ✨

Thanks to the support of our 2024 Bond, we were able to open a brand new building for some of our ETA interns.

ETA's mission is to nurture the unique potential of each student by providing structured transition planning, hands on vocational experiences and life skills training in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Today was a perfect representation of the mission of life skills training, as interns practiced folding laundry in their shiny new laundry room. 👕🧺

Congratulations to our students and advisors who attended and competed at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. this summer!

We are especially proud to celebrate our Heartland Middle School student who placed 2nd in the nation! 👏👀

We had FCCLA students from North, Santa Fe, Central Middle School, Cheyenne Middle School and Heartland Middle School representing EPS at the conference.

We also had a handful of our fantastic FCCLA educators attending as sponsors: Kaitlyn Kirksey (North), Amy Arbuckle and Kristen Harris (Santa Fe) and Kendall Wildman (Cheyenne).

Congratulations to everyone on an incredible accomplishment and way to put in the work during the summer! ✨ #EdmondExcellence

Edmond Excellence on our minds and Edmond Excellence on our shirts. 💥

A HUGE thank you to Kirkpatrick Bank for sponsoring our all staff shirts for the third year in a row! We’re so thankful for their continued partnership and support of Edmond Public Schools. 👏

We’ve already spotted plenty of staff sporting their new gear! 👀

And a big shoutout to the Edmond Public Schools Foundation Student Ambassadors and Santa Fe NHS students who helped set up and distribute shirts so every employee had one waiting for them when they arrived Friday morning for Convocation!

One of our favorite back to school traditions is taking a break during the first administrator meeting of the year to serve our community. ✨

From delivering cold water and snacks to construction crews to picking up trash, volunteering at the HOPE Center and more, our administrators spent the morning spreading kindness and giving back. We love starting the school year with service at the center of what we do.

The faces that lead EPS. 💜 ✴️

Please note an important update to the 2026–27 schedule. Due to new state recess requirements for elementary students, elementary school start times have shifted by 5 minutes. These are the updated 2026-27 start and end times for all EPS schools.

EPS Families, you received an email from Dr. Delich this afternoon with more information.

At last week's special board meeting, the Edmond Board of Education approved Laura Brown as Heartland's Head Principal and Brock Van Cleave as Sequoyah's Head Principal for the 2026-27 school year! Both administrators bring experience in a variety of school positions and we are thrilled for them to lead these schools! 🦅🐾

Students spent the week developing their ideas into published books during this Summer Enrichment session! 📚

From brainstorming and writing to revising, illustrating and publishing, they went through each step of the writing process while strengthening their storytelling skills. Each student left with a finished book to be proud of! 👏
