As we move forward with planning for the 2024-25 school year, EPSD 124 will be continuing staggered starts between our four Elementary Schools and Central Middle School.
In the interest of school safety, we are recommending that students no longer “linger” outside of school property prior to the start of the school day but rather go directly to their classroom upon arrival to be immediately welcomed and supervised indoors by their classroom teacher.
Important Note: Doors will NOT open prior to the time listed above.
