Students in EUSD TK and Kindergarten programs are eligible to participate in their school’s optional Expanded Learning program.

Please Use The Crosswalk - Arrival and dismissal are busy times! We have seen an increase in families crossing in the middle of N. Rose Street instead of using the crosswalk. Please help us keep everyone safe and use the crosswalks.
Students Can Earn 3 Bonus Tickets - Tell your student(s) to find Mrs. Ruggles at recess or lunch and tell her what their parents favorite color is.
Independent Study/Leaves - Families, if you know your student will be absent for several days due to a planned trip or event, please notify the office at least two weeks in advance. Your student can be placed on independent study during their leave to receive credit for their absences, however, but our office and teacher will need time to prepare the required materials. Thank you.
Breakfast and Lunch Menus: All EUSD students have access to no-cost breakfast and lunch. Families can view our new online menus. Select your school and menu to see what is being served every day.
That is all for now - have a great week!
