To help jump start the new Way Station location in East Palestine, our students collected and donated a trunk load of items to the store.
We Are Building Better Bulldogs.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the food services staff at East Palestine Schools!
If you take one look at Mrs. Wagner’s classroom at the middle school, it is very easy to see a passionate educator who is exceptional at what she does for our students.
We are looking for people to work track meets this upcoming season. We need more officials for all our track meet. This is due to officials choosing not to work meets because of Covid-19 concerns. We pay $20 a meet. Please contact Cindy Dunn @ Cindy.dunn@myepschools.org if interested. Refer to images for schedules.
Meet, Mr. Baker. Mr. Baker is a new member of our high school teaching staff this school year. Currently, Mr. Baker teaches Geometry and Algebra 2. This past winter, Mr. Baker coached our 7th grade boys basketball team to a runner-up finish in the EOAC. Previously, Mr. Baker taught in North Carolina but he is originally from the Mahoning Valley. Mr. Baker has been an excellent addition to our teaching staff. If you see him around the high school or basketball court, please say hello and welcome him to East Palestine Schools.
Thank you to Covington Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for generously donating pies, in honor of Pi Day, to our staff members. Pi Day is this Sunday, March 14 (3.14). How many digits of Pi can you count to without looking?
Watch: Saying goodbye to Mrs. McGee. Sorry about the noise in the neighborhood, but our high school band needed to march around the block to say goodbye to one of our biggest fans, Mrs. Jill McGee. Thank you, Mrs. McGee. You will be missed.

What did you learn in school today? This is a common question tossed around kitchen tables everywhere by parents and their children after a long day at work and school. In East Palestine Schools, we try our best to make that an easy question to answer for our students. Daily, our teachers post learning goals and agendas for students that specifically outlines what will be taught, how it will be taught, and what is coming up next. Next time you are tossing that age old question around the dinner table, if it is an East Palestine student, they should have an answer for you.
Congratulations to the Middle School Students of the Month for February 2021.

We know the value of in-person learning and must make every effort to increase in-person learning which parallels the Governor’s message. We are hopeful that as many of our students as possible will return to in-person learning at the beginning of the fourth nine weeks, March 29, 2021.
Our diligent safety protocols will remain in place. During the day all students and staff will social distance, wear masks, wash hands frequently, and sanitation of classrooms and surfaces throughout the building will be conducted. Extenuating circumstances to consider staying in a remote learning environment may include medical concerns (Covid-related) or evidence of high academic achievement in the remote platform.
