Attention Parents & Students! 🌟 Did you know that each student in our district can access Rooms to see all of their class announcements from their teachers? If you haven’t done so yet, make sure your child logs in to their Rooms account via the ESD app or on a laptop. 👉 Follow the instructions below to get started!

Our annual Report to the Public meeting and Title 1 meeting will be held this Tuesday, October 8th, in the WMS Cafeteria at 5:30.

Good morning! We will have the Family Feast on the field today! Can't wait to see you all!

Parents! We will be sending out another round of invites to parents to set up their Guardian Rooms account tomorrow, Sept 10th via email and/or text! If you have not logged into your account yet, please be sure to keep an eye on your inbox/texts tomorrow. Please review our Rooms FAQs page on our website for more information.

Good morning, unfortunately due to the weather we are going to have to reschedule Family feast on the field. With the rain it will be too wet. We are rescheduling for next Friday, 9/13. If you are signed up you do not have to sign up again. I am sorry for the inconvenience. The weather is out of our control. Have a happy Friday.

As we gear up for the 2024-2025 school year, please be aware of updates to the ESD cell phone policy: www.eldoradopublicschools.org/article/1694279

From work, to home, to school, our phones are a key tool to navigate and communicate throughout the day. The custom-built ESD app makes it easy to stay up to date with district news and events. Now, ESD is making it easier to stay in touch with teachers and class information from that same app. Using the ESD app you can easily switch from district and school information to Rooms, where you can see your student's classes and engage directly with teachers. Rooms can be accessed via the web and from our district app, which is available for free and can be used from both Apple and Android phones. Parents and guardians will soon receive instructions via email/text to create their login to access Rooms within the district app.

6th graders will use their smart tag from last year. A new one can be purchased at orientation if they need a replacement.

Don't forget! The deadline to apply for Wildcat Online Academy (WOA) for the first semester is Sunday, July 21st! Follow the link to our website to apply or for more information: www.eldoradopublicschools.org/article/1665155
