Dear Tiger Parents, Your child's safety is very important to us here at El Paso High. Tomorrow, Friday, September 20th we will be checking for student IDs in their classroom. Students have had 6 weeks to get an El Paso High ID. Their 1st ID was free. For those students who do not have their student ID, they will be walked to the auditorium where they will serve a short detention. During that time, students will be reminded of the importance of having their school ID with them at all times. Students will still have a 30-minute lunch. Please remind your student of the importance to have their ID with them every day and to be wearing it. If your child needs to get a new ID the cost is $5 dollars, and they will need to go to the bookroom before school, during lunch, or after school to get a new ID. Thank you in advance for your support.

Dear Tiger Families, Our district values your feedback! This September, we will be asking you to take a brief survey to tell us about your experience with EPISD. To ensure we continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. The survey is now open and will close on September 27. Please scan the QR code sent via email to take the survey, thank you!

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will have Earth Science Week celebration at the campus on Saturday, September 28th from 10:00 am-2:00 pm in Geology Lawn and Centennial Plaza to serve the UTEP and El Paso community. This event's main goal is to invite the community to learn about Earth, Environmental and Resource Sciences and to showcase what our faculty and students are researching. In doing so, we hope to increase the recruitment of DEERS majors. We provide hands on educational activities for children of all ages, ranging from the rock cycle to drones.
