East Palestine Elementary School

A huge Bulldog welcome to our newest staff members! Today, they were on campus for their new staff orientation, getting to know the district and our wonderful community. The highlight of the day was a bus tour, giving them a firsthand look at the community they'll be serving. We are thrilled to have them join the Bulldog family and look forward to a fantastic year together! Please join us in giving them a warm East Palestine welcome!

We know how important it is for our students to start their day right and stay energized, which is why we are so excited to announce that breakfast and lunch will be completely free for ALL East Palestine students again this year!

This program is a great opportunity to support our families and ensure every child has the fuel they need to grow, learn, and thrive. We look forward to serving up some delicious and healthy meals all year long!
