Congratulations to the Little Bulldog Cheerleaders who participated in the EOYFL Tier 6 Cheer Competition over the weekend, earning multiple 1st and 2nd place finishes!
Come see them in action on September 26th!

What a treat it was to host our Goodies with Grandparents event this morning! We absolutely loved seeing all of our East Palestine Preschool students share hugs, smiles, and some sweet treats with their wonderful grandparents.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this lovely Preschool event and made it a day to remember for our littlest Bulldogs!

This week to mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11, EPHS government students held a solemn reflection over the school PA system and also wrote dozens of cards of appreciation to EP’s own police and fire. This was their way to honor those first responders who lost their lives on that dark day.

Reminder! Tonight is First Responders Night at Reid Memorial Stadium. We welcome all first responders to join us for pre-game events starting at 6:45 PM.

Tonight's EPHS volleyball matches have been cancelled due to a power outage at the school.

Today, on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, the East Palestine School District honors the memory of those we lost. We remember the heroes who selflessly responded and the countless acts of courage and kindness that emerged from the tragedy.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the importance of community, resilience, and compassion. These are the values we strive to instill in our students every day.

Always Remember.

We believe that great behavior deserves to be celebrated! That's why we're so proud to announce our new Top Dawg program at EPES, designed to highlight the students who are making our school a better place.

Every day, one student at EPES will be named our Top Dawg for following our Bulldog Rules and earning a Pawsitive Action Slip that shows exemplary actions or behavior. This isn't just about winning a trip to the book vending machine—it's about fostering a positive and supportive school community, one paw-sitive action at a time!

A new course at EPHS has been established to develop leadership skills and provide students with a fully immersive experience in local projects in East Palestine.

The course is called Project EP.

Students had the opportunity to receive insights and guidance from Village Manager Antonio Diaz-Guy and Village Council member Barb Herriott. We love this collaboration!

Attention, 2025 Graduates! Your yearbooks are ready for pickup. Please visit the EPHS Office to collect your copy, or you can have someone else pick it up for you with their signature.

When your student is feeling under the weather, it can be tough to know what to do. Check out Akron Children's infographic to help you decide if it's best for your student to stay home and rest....and when they are ready to go back to school!

This Friday (9/12), we invite all area First Responders to gather for a special combined pregame performance by the East Palestine and Lisbon bands. It is our time to honor and thank you for your service!
Please meet at the home sideline/track at 6:45 p.m.

It's time to put the 5th-grade band together!

EPYSA is currently accepting sign-ups for Coed Flag Football. Students in PreK-6th Grade can register at www.epyouthsports.com
Sign up before 9/13/25!

We want to extend our thanks to Hat Foundry for donating over 100 rolls of filament for our 3D printers. Our students are utilizing Dremel Digilab printers, which were obtained through grant funding from Project Lead the Way.
We are empowering our students to work collaboratively and engage in creative projects!

Missing a day of school is typically inevitable for most students.
We understand!
But when they do have to miss, make the call.....then send a note!

There's a lot going on with the EP Bulldog Band - add all of these upcoming dates to your calendar today!

Get ready, 4th-grade students and families! We’re joining schools across Ohio in the Team Tressel Fitness Challenge —a fun, 90-day journey to better health, starting in September! The program is designed for students to set goals and strive to achieve them through movement, healthy eating, and good sleep habits.
#TeamTresselFitnessChallenge

What a fantastic first week back! The energy in our halls and classrooms was amazing, and it was so great to see all of our students again. We're off to an incredible start!

We'll see everyone back on Tuesday, September 2nd. Go Bulldogs!
