Over the last few weeks, a number of our EPISD campuses have been impacted by the rise in statewide online and social media hoaxes and threats being circulated. We know that these cause concern and disruption in our community. We wanted to share a message from Chief of Police Services, Manual Chavira, addressing this issue. Please click here to watch the message: https://www.episd.org/article/1777798 We always appreciate your support and trust and want you to know that safety of our students and staff is the most important thing. Thank you.

We are celebrating September as School Attendance Awareness Month!
Did you know that your child's attendance is directly related to academic achievement, reading proficiency, etc in elementary school?
Attendance Matters!

We are celebrating September as School Attendance Awareness Month!
Did you know that missing 17 days of school is equivalent to missing an entire month of school.
Academic Achievement and Interventions- Students who are chronically absent at early grade levels often trail behind their peers in reading and math. If students are not reading on grade level by Grade 3, they are at a much higher risk of dropping out. Parents are not thinking that their 3rd grader is going to drop-out of school, but the attendance patterns set in early grade levels do not improve as students get older.
Attendance Matters!
