Families are important partners in good attendance! Setting regular bedtimes, planning morning routines and scheduling appointments outside the school day when possible can help students avoid unnecessary absences. Thank you for helping your child get to school every day and on time!
¡Gracias, familias, por ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a llegar listos para aprender! Mantener horarios consistentes para dormir y planificar con anticipación, pueden marcar una gran diferencia en la asistencia escolar.

The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) helps schools respond quickly and appropriately to different situations. Depending on the type of emergency, staff may initiate a Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, or Shelter response.
By using clear, consistent actions, students and staff know exactly what to do when seconds matter most. Practicing these responses helps create a safer, more prepared EISD.

September is Attendance Awareness Month!
Being in class matters at every grade level. As students get older, regular attendance helps students stay on track academically, earn credits, build strong relationships, and prepare for college, careers, and future success. Show up, stay engaged, and make every day count!

Did you know that fewer device distractions can mean more classroom engagement?
This year, students are expected to keep all personal communication devices powered off and out of sight during the school day.
Let's make every class count:
Listen. Learn. Participate. Engage.

Healthy Students Learn Better!
When students are healthy, they can focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and achieving their goals. Required immunizations are one important way families can help support student wellness and school attendance throughout the year.

A lesson missed today can make tomorrow's lesson harder to understand. Regular attendance helps students stay on track, participate in class and build on what they learned the day before. Be here. Be ready. Keep learning.
Perderse una clase hoy puede hacer que la lección de mañana sea más difícil de entender. La asistencia regular ayuda a los estudiantes a mantenerse al día, participar en clase y aprovechar lo aprendido el día anterior. Asiste. Prepárate. Sigue aprendiendo.

September is a great time to build strong attendance habits! Families can help by creating consistent bedtime and morning routines, preparing backpacks the night before and making getting to school on time a priority. Small routines can make a BIG difference!

A heartfelt thank you to our Physical Plant Operations (PPO) employees—our everyday heroes who often work behind the scenes to keep our schools safe, clean, and ready for our students and staff.
Following the recent storm this past weekend, this team has been working tirelessly to clear debris, clean up affected areas, and assess and address the needs around our campuses.

Help us appreciate them!
