📢 Seniors & Families: FAFSA Reminder!

Starting this 2026-27 school year, Pennsylvania students must either complete FAFSA or submit the PA FAFSA Completion Opt-Out Form.

Even if you don't think you'll qualify for aid, the FAFSA is worth doing. Many scholarships and programs require it.

Join us for a Financial Aid Information Night (all Seniors and families of seniors in EPS are welcome at either session):

- Mon, Sept 28 | 5:30-7:00 PM
Collegiate Academy, Technology Wing

- Thu, Oct 1 | 5:30-7:00 PM
Erie High School, E-Sports Lab

See you there!

📢 Senior Families:

Beginning this 2026-27 school year, Pennsylvania students must either:
- Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), OR
- Submit the Pennsylvania FAFSA Completion Opt-Out Form

Why FAFSA matters:
Completing FAFSA helps determine whether your student qualifies for federal and state grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and student loans — for four-year colleges, career schools, or other eligible postsecondary education and training programs. Even if you don't think your family will qualify for aid, completing the FAFSA is worthwhile, as many scholarships and programs require it on file.

Families may instead submit the state's official Opt-Out Form if they do not want to complete the FAFSA form.

We are hosting information and support sessions to walk families through the FAFSA process, explain key financial aid terms, and answer questions.

Financial Aid Information Nights:
- Monday, September 28, 2026, Collegiate Academy, Technology Wing (5:30 - 7:00 PM)
- Thursday, October 1, 2026, Erie High School, E-Sports Lab ( 5:30 - 7:00 PM)

Families are welcome to attend either support session, regardless of which school your student attends — come to whichever date or location works best for you!

Picture Day Is Coming, EPS!

Get ready to smile, EPS! Picture Day is a special opportunity for our students to capture a memory of the school year, celebrate who they are, and show their school pride.

On Picture Day, students may wear school-appropriate clothing of their choice. Standard school attire is not required for Picture Day.

When choosing an outfit, please keep these simple guidelines in mind:

Choose clothing that is appropriate for school and not revealing.

Clothing should feature school-appropriate images, words, and messages and should not include lewd or vulgar language, drug-related images or messages, or other inappropriate content.

Jeans and pants should be free of rips and holes.

Hats and headwear are not permitted, except when worn for religious purposes.

Skirts, dresses, and shorts should fall no more than 2 inches above the knee.

We want every student to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to smile on Picture Day. Thank you to our parents and families for continuing to do your part to support and reinforce our new standard school attire expectations.

As we shared during our family engagement sessions, if the district schedules a special “pop-out” day or other opportunity for students to wear clothing outside of standard school attire, we will communicate that with families in advance.

Thank you for partnering with us as we establish clear, consistent expectations while creating special opportunities for our students to celebrate important moments throughout the school year.

Say cheese, EPS!
