We are thrilled to announce that the East Palestine School District has been awarded grant funding through the Ohio School Bus Safety Grant program!
Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce announced $10 million in funding to improve student transportation across the state—and we are proud to be a recipient!
This funding will be used to modernize our existing fleet with critical safety upgrades, ensuring a safer commute for our students every day. Our students' journey to and from school is just as important as their time in the classroom. We are grateful for this support in keeping our Bulldogs safe on the road!

School counselors are the bridge between where a student is and where they want to be. They provide the tools for managing emotions, the skills for building relationships, and the roadmap for life after graduation. And so much more!
We want to extend a huge thank you to Mrs. Neider, Mrs. Sherry, and Mrs. Randolph for being that bridge for our students. Your dedication to the East Palestine community makes a lasting difference in the lives of our children every single day.
It's National School Counseling Week! Join us in saying thank you!

Due to the ongoing winter weather, East Palestine Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 29.
We know the extreme weather makes things difficult, so we’re hosting a drive-thru lunch pick-up for our students! Swing by the MS-9 door at the back of the middle school between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to grab a bagged lunch.
Stay safe, look out for your neighbors, and we hope to see you back in the classrooms soon!
Staying inside where it’s warm today, Bulldogs? Turn your kitchen into a Hot Cocoa Science Lab! This is a fun, delicious way to practice your "Scientist Skills" while sipping on a warm treat.
The Experiment:
Which topping will melt the fastest in your hot cocoa?
1️⃣ Before you drop them in, guess which will disappear first: a giant marshmallow, mini marshmallows, or a piece of chocolate?
2️⃣ Drop your toppings in at the same time and watch closely!
3️⃣ Does the heat from the cocoa change the shape of the topping? What else do you notice?
4️⃣ Which one won the race?
5️⃣ Enjoy!!
With our school closure tomorrow, that means the EPMS Boys Basketball Game has been canceled.
Even though we miss having everyone in the halls, the weather isn't cooperating just yet. East Palestine Schools will be CLOSED tomorrow, January 28th. We’re building quite the streak here - stay warm & safe, EP!
Join the East Palestine Girls Softball Association (EPGSA) for a great season on the diamond.

**All athletic events and practices are canceled as well**
Our mass messaging system is currently moving a bit slower than the snow! While calls and texts have been sent to all staff and families, they seem to be stuck in a "digital holding pattern." We sincerely apologize if this social media post is the first way you’re hearing about tomorrow's closure—we’re working to get those alerts through to your phones as quickly as possible!

Some of our EPHS students were hard at work mastering life-saving skills! These Bulldogs were participating in American Heart Association CPR training to earn their official certifications.
Not only are they learning how to respond in an emergency, but these certifications also count as vital credentials toward their high school graduation. We are so proud of their commitment to their futures and our community!
