✨November is Native American Heritage Month! EPS is excited to honor Native American traditions, history and contributions to our community. Check out the link in our bio titled "Echogee Storytelling" that our Indian Education department produced. It is a reading of Echogee by Acee Blue Eagle Pawnee/Muscogee--storytelling is a longstanding tradition of all Native American tribes. For more information and resources, head to the Indian Education page on our district website.

Happy Halloween from EPS! To celebrate, check out this project done by Mrs. Weaver’s 3rd grade class at Cross Timbers. The class did a writing project where the students picked a vocabulary word and thought of a character that would go along with it! They wrote persuasive essays to describe how the character was like the vocabulary word using examples from the movie, book or show their character is from. Then, they painted those characters on pumpkins! Very creative, well done students! 🎃🖌 #EPSleads

High School Sporting Event Regulations. we are introducing immediate changes at our high school athletic events: All students attending any athletic event are required to wear their ID and lanyard. Students from both high schools will enter through designated gates. For elementary/middle school students, an adult must be present with them when entering the gates. Students are expected to remain with their parents/guardian throughout the event. HS students from a school not participating in the game must be accompanied by an adult. Bags will not be allowed through the entrance gates with the exception of a small clutch (4 ½ x 6 ½), medical or diaper bags. No Athletic Equipment (Footballs, Basketballs, etc.) Permitted. We encourage enthusiastic participation in cheering for our teams. To ensure safety and order, please remain in the designated cheering areas. As part of our effort to ensure a safe environment for everyone, you’ll notice an increase in the number of security personnel and administrators at our events.
