East Prairie School District #73

Teacher Appreciation Week! Celebrate your EPS teachers this week. We are so grateful to have such an incredible staff- let's make them feel special this week. Thank you for helping to spread gratitude to our team of deserving educators. #teacherAPPRECIATION

Earth Day with Pre-K! Thank you to our Pre-K for helping plant a flower garden in our courtyard and pick up trash to make our Earth beautiful. #preK #EARTHday

Our Kindergarteners visited the Kohl Children's Museum today! Aside from exploring this incredible museum, students participated in "Animals as Architects". This activity-based trip focused on learning about animal homes and building their own orb to help birds make nests.

Today's celebration of Culture Day allowed our students and staff to show our unity in diversity. We were able to discuss similarities and differences between our cultures. We love our EPS family! #A-Zcountdown

Helping Hand! EPS has many resources available to families, our goal is to be a supportive link between families, their specific needs, our school, and community organizations to ensure that every member of our East Prairie community has what they need to thrive. Please reach out if we can help in any way.

Welcome Back from Spring Break! We can't wait to welcome everyone back tomorrow for our first day back after break. #schoolTOMORROW

No School Tomorrow

Join us for our monthly Board of Education meeting at 7:00 PM tonight. Meeting will be held in the Plotkin Boardroom. Please enter through the district office door located in the circle drive.

Team Building Tuesday! This morning, first grade students collaborated in pairs for a team building activity! They received a scrambled 100 board and took turns identifying numbers sequentially from 1-100. #teamWORK

Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no in-person school on Friday, January 12, 2024 due to the forecasted weather. We will have e-learning for all students. All in-person activities and appointments are canceled as the school building will be closed. Your child will receive additional information about the e-learning day from their teacher by 8:30 a.m.

School Tomorrow! We can't wait to welcome our students back after winter break!

REMINDER- tomorrow, we will have an early dismissal at 2:45 PM! #earlyDISMISSAL
