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.

If you know of an alumnus, family member, friend, or community member who is serving; please email their name and address to laura.spanos@epschools.k12.oh.us so that we can show them our appreciation and support.

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.
Over 100 East Palestine Schools' staff members received their 2nd dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Thank you to Anti-Virus Youth Education for making a $500 donation to the middle school in order to help our students in need.
