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.

Make sure your child is ready for the new school year! All ESD students must have up-to-date immunizations to attend school in August 2024. Check out the attached flyer for all the details to ensure a smooth start this fall!
