Superintendent's Message
Dear Parents & Guardians:
EPCHS students who have returned to school are beginning to enjoy some sense of normalcy. Some of our students who are either on site or learning remotely, are also participating in athletics and activities. While I am happy to see this, I am concerned about those students who are not yet in school. Many are truly struggling and in need of assistance to transition back to on site learning.
Attached below is a letter recently sent to you from Principal Sanderson. This letter provides detailed information about the impact of the pandemic on our students, supports available, and requirements for students with failing grades. It also explains the steps to take for students currently enrolled as remote learners to change to in-person learning.
It is very important that we work together to transition students back to school. If you have not already done so, I ask you to read through the letter and contact us with any questions you might have. The letter is provided below.
Sincerely,
Thomas O’Malley Superintendent
