Wishing all of our students, teachers, staff, and ESS substitutes a fantastic first day back filled with excitement, new adventures, and endless opportunities to learn and grow!

Here’s to an amazing school year, let’s make it the best one yet!

’Twas the night before school, and all through the town,
The classrooms were ready, the plans had been made,
As everyone prepared for the first school day.

The lesson plans were ready, the classrooms were bright,
And everyone was preparing for the first morning light.

The backpacks were packed, and the pencils were new,
The teachers were ready and substitutes too!

The students would soon fill the halls with their cheer,
And a brand new school year was finally here!

So rest up tonight and get ready to go,
Your schools and your students are counting on you to show!

Whether you’re helping in class, supporting the crew,
Or stepping in where needed, there’s a place just for you.

So here’s to new beginnings, new memories, and fun,
And another great school year that’s about to be begun!

Welcome back, ESS Substitute Team!
Let’s make it an amazing school year!

House Bill 1481 remains in effect this school year, prohibiting students from using personal communication devices, including cell phones, smartwatches, glasses, and similar devices, during instructional time.

As we begin the new school year, please talk with your student about this expectation and make sure their device stays powered off and put away throughout the school day.

Thank you for partnering with us to support a focused learning environment for all students.

New school year, who dis? 🍎✨
