We have been monitoring the weather forecast all weekend and throughout the day today.
School will continue like normal for the remainder of the school day. Thanks to our past bond projects, all of our school sites have storm shelters that can hold all students and staff members. Our bus drivers also have procedures in place to get to the nearest school site if a storm hits during their afternoon routes.
While school will continue for the rest of the day, we are canceling all EPS evening activities for today, Monday, May 19th. This includes our fine arts performances, award ceremonies and alternate graduation. We are working on plans to reschedule as many of these important events as possible before the end of the school year later this week.

It's that time! Our April Core Value Award winners have been announced! Please give a round of applause to:
🌟 Bill Clinton, custodian at EPSAC, was nominated for BELONGING. Mr. Bill makes everyone feel welcome and always takes the time to acknowledge every person he sees. He is always willing to provide a helping hand and goes above and beyond to assist those in need. When it is snowing or icey, Bill has been known to go out in the parking lot and scrape everyone’s windows before they leave for the evening. Bill is always giving.
🌟 Lisa Keck, Resource Teacher at Sunset, was nominated for COLLABORATION. Mrs. Keck coordinates seamlessly with classroom teachers, speech pathologists and parents through her dedication to a collaborative approach, ensuring that each student’s goals and Individualized Education Program (IEP) remain current and effective. Moreover, Mrs. Keck’s advocacy for her students extends beyond the classroom, as she actively cultivates meaningful partnerships and relationships with families, making them feel integral to their children’s educational journey.
These two shine their light each day. We're pretty lucky to have them! 👏

Before reading Romeo and Juliet, our freshmen at Memorial spend a few days exploring Shakespeare the way he intended—on their feet and in action. 🗡️ Activities like (safely!) fencing, performing scenes and even learning period dances help students connect with the story and language in a hands-on, memorable way. #ShineYourLight
