All students and staff are safely out of the building and staying dry within the EPES gymnasium. We will provide an updated post once everyone is back in the building.
Thank you for your patience.

Building something amazing together! Our kindergarten students constructed gingerbread houses with a special someone this afternoon. There was a lot of sweetness in the room!








Have you met Willow?
She's our official EP mascot and will be a familiar face at all our athletic events this year. Get ready to see her cheering us on & intimidating our opponents!


Congratulations to our November Attendance Heroes at EPES & EPMS!
Here, Everyday, Ready & On-time


**Impact Through Action**
Students from the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy and our Bulldog Choir participated in "Do Good December" activities. Our Bulldogs helped elementary students shop at Santa's Secret Shop and spent time entertaining and visiting residents at Covington and Christian House. We are proud of their leadership!











This morning, the EPES gym was rockin' during our PBIS assembly. Our special guest, Basketball Jones, shared some inspiring messages with our students. Be sure to ask your student what they learned and who they thought had some great dance moves!

We're kicking off the holiday season at EPES with a warm and fuzzy feeling! Thanks to all who donated hats, scarves, and gloves/mittens yesterday.
Let's keep the good vibes going! Bring a new pair of socks on Monday to keep your classmates cozy all winter long.
Thank you for spreading holiday cheer!


It is time to get in the holiday spirit! Come and enjoy as the EP Drama Club presents Hometown Holiday!


Today (12/5/2024), the East Palestine School District will operate on a 2 hour delay due to weather conditions. There is no AM Preschool.

It's that time of year again - our December holiday-themed days of the week! For our EPES and EPMS families, to help you keep track we have everything listed on our website!

We hope your Thanksgiving break was filled with much-needed rest & relaxation.
Back to school tomorrow!


Our incredible staff members deserve a little pick-me-up! The Thankful Cart, led by our amazing administration team, made its rounds, spreading cheer and caffeine (& sweet donuts). Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen!








We are always thankful for each and every member of our Bulldog Family!
Happy Thanksgiving!


What a fantastic morning at EPES! The competition was fierce, and our teachers truly outdid themselves!
A huge congratulations to our amazing 2nd-grade class for being the top coin collectors! They’ve earned a special treat.
Together, we’ve raised nearly $500 in just one week! Way to go, Bulldogs!
These generous donations will go directly to our newly established Field Trip Fund, making exciting educational experiences more accessible for our students.

No matter the season, acts of kindness can extend far beyond their initial impact!
Thank you to Vallourec and Mr. Shawn Elliott for donating Thanksgiving Baskets, which were personally delivered to 10 of our EP families.


As a reminder.....


Are you ready for some dodgeball? On November 26th, EPES students will watch their teachers go head-to-head during their annual dodgeball game. Who will come out on top and be crowned the winner?
