EPS is fortunate to have many outstanding bus drivers, and today, we’re highlighting one who goes above and beyond for her riders—Dayna Wagester!
Here’s what students on Ms. Wagester’s route had to say:
💬 “She always says hi and bye to the bus riders and greets them. She’s always talking to us. She’s very respectable.”
💬 “I have a smooth ride and always get to talk to my friends. My bus driver always greets me!”
Kenny Chamlee, Director of Transportation, shared:
💬 “Dayna is exactly what you would want for a bus driver. She greets students by name every morning and creates a safe and caring environment for all! We couldn’t ask for more from a driver.”
We have the best bus drivers. 🌟 Drop a comment to show your appreciation for Ms. Wagester and all of her hard work! #ShineYourLight

As the dangerous road conditions and extremely low temperatures continue, we are making the decision now that all EPS schools will have a SNOW DAY tomorrow, Thursday, February 20th. We understand the burden that multiple days of remote learning causes for students, families and staff members.Therefore, tomorrow will be a traditional snow day. There are no remote learning expectations for tomorrow and attendance will not be counted.
The lost instructional time for Thursday will be made up with the schedule updates that were sent to EPS parents and guardians on Monday.
Please continue to stay warm and safe this week!
Because of the dangerous road conditions and extremely low temperatures caused by the winter storm, we are making the decision that we will continue with remote learning tomorrow, Wednesday, February 19th, for all EPS schools.

Please stay safe and warm this week!
Reminder that there will be no school for students on Monday, February 17th. EPS staff members will spend the day in Professional Development sessions. Students, we’ll see you Tuesday morning!

100 days of school, countless memories. ✨
Cross Timbers celebrated in a big way—Pre-K collected 100 boxes of cereal, lined them up like dominoes and watched them fall! Students also got to wear hats, while Mrs. Neely and Mrs. Lausen dressed up as 100 year olds. Best of all, the cereal that was used in their activity will be donated to the Edmond Hope Center. It was a perfect 100 day celebration! 💯🥣 #ShineYourLight

Because of an increasing number of student and staff absences this week, we have made the difficult decision to close school for all Edmond Public Schools for tomorrow, Friday, January 31st. Extracurricular activities will continue as scheduled.
This decision was made in advance to give our families and staff members time to prepare. We will let you know as soon as possible how this instructional time will be made up.
We look forward to seeing your students back in class on Monday morning.
