Board of Education Members and EPS Administration gathered for a two day retreat packed with session work and focused planning ahead of the school year. We can't wait to share with you throughout the year! Visit our website to check out all of the new additions!

The Team was recognized at the August meeting. The start of school couldn't be possible without the tireless work of the facilities team. All the schools are fully turned over and shining during the summer months to welcome our students and staff back on the first day not to mention all of the other projects that only the summer months allow! A big thank you goes out to the EPS Maintenance Department!

New Sensory Path at Crystal Lake School!

Liaison Miriam Underwood took a stroll along the newest addition to the CL blacktop with Principal Soto. The new Sensory Path is a neurology-research based model to provide a fun, colorful and functional addition to the hardtop for students to reset and refocus on learning and for the community to enjoy!

A great project completed ahead of the Knight's Season. This was a joint effort with the Town. We look forward to seeing the Knights in action this Fall! Keep an eye out for a Board Member in the stands!

We were excited to welcome EHS' newly appointed student liaison at the July and August BOE Meetings. We look forward to hearing all the updates Rik will bring throughout the 22-23 school year. Welcome Rik!
