May Thanksgiving and the rest of the year remind us to be grateful for what we have. Here at the El Dorado School District, we have YOU, our students, our staff, our families, our community!
Happy Thanksgiving, Wildcats!
It’s officially Thanksgiving break!
All ESD schools and buildings will be closed next week for Thanksgiving break. Over the next week, the El Dorado School District social media pages, including all school pages, are also taking a break. You may see some posts here and there that have been scheduled, but the pages/inboxes will not be monitored for questions. We encourage our students and staff to “unplug” and use this time to celebrate all they are grateful for.
Phone calls, emails, and social media messages will be returned on Monday, November 28th.
The ESD Singers returned to the Downtown Holiday Lighting Ceremony last night and had a blast belting out a few holiday tunes! What a great way to kick off the holiday season!

Due to the holiday week, the Wildcat Impact nomination form will close tomorrow at 2pm. If you'd like to nominate a staff member for the month of November, please complete this form before then!

Breanna Murphy, a teacher at Washington Middle School, attended Southern Arkansas University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education. She currently teaches WIN Literacy and Math to fifth and sixth-grade students.
Ms. Murphy chose SAU because of the “wonderful and supportive teaching program.” She enjoyed the small campus feel, the ability to visit with professors, and that the campus wasn’t far from home. Her experience was special because “she never felt alone.” SAU was a home away from home, with multiple opportunities for students to get involved. Ms. Murphy loved being a part of the SAU community!
Thank you, Ms. Murphy, for sharing about your SAU experience! If you are interested in learning more about Southern Arkansas University, visit https://web.saumag.edu/.
