Take a look at what the East Palestine Performing Arts Department has planned for this Spring!



As the State Testing Season approaches, we have listed all the dates on our District Calendar for your convenience. Ensuring your student gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast, along with some encouraging words, can have a significant impact on their performance! https://www.myepschools.org/events

We would like to once again extend our congratulations and appreciation to Mrs. Walker. Last week, she was recognized at the Mahoning Valley Educators of the Year Honors Dinner—a well-deserved honor!


*Sweet Tea for a Sweet Cause*
In just five days, the Bulldog Cafe sold 771 cups of their delicious sweet tea, totaling 78 gallons, allowing for a donation of $622.25 to the Springfield Local Fine Arts Department in honor of Jason Daff!


Say goodbye to outdated equipment—our weight room has just undergone a major upgrade!
After relying on equipment that was decades old, we are excited to unveil our new and improved facility. It features safer and more effective equipment designed to help our athletes get game day & competition ready!
Let's Go Dawgs!!!



Reminder - we have an Early Release Day coming up on Friday, March 21st! Adjust your schedules accordingly!


Join Dr. Rook, Superintendent of East Palestine Schools, along with the building principals, for a *State of the Schools* event on Tuesday, April 8th, at 6:00 p.m. The event will take place in the EPHS Auditorium.
Expect to receive updates on the overall district, as well as information on performance, progress, and plans for each district building from the administration.
We are excited to share all the great things happening in EP Schools!


The Nutrition Group staff have truly outdone themselves this time!
The EPMS & EPHS Cafeterias were bursting with St. Patrick’s Day cheer, serving up some fun and festive lunch options for our students and staff to enjoy!






Throughout this upcoming week, students and staff can purchase sweet tea for $1 from the Bulldog Cafe to support the initiative "Sweet Tea for a Sweet Cause." The proceeds will be donated in honor of Springfield Local student Jason Daff, benefiting the Springfield Fine Arts Department.


It's that time of year again!
