Our custodians work each day to keep our schools welcoming, safe, and clean! Their work is often in the background, but if it wasn't for them, our schools would not run as smoothly as they do. Thank you to each of our custodians for their dedication to keeping our schools in the best shape possible! #CSEW #EveryStudentDeserves

Last week, we celebrated Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day, and our community helped show them how much we truly appreciate them! Thank you, Maintenance Team!
This week, we wanted to give a special shout-out to a member of their team for #CSEW. Dennis Robinson, a Heat and Air Technician, has worked in the district for 42 years, and Monday, he will celebrate his first official day of retirement! We asked Dennis what he enjoyed most about his job, and he said “repairing things” with a huge smile on his face. We can attest to that!
Congratulations, Dennis! You will certainly be missed!
Officer Miller and Officer Heard serve our district as School Resource Officers. They are the epitome of "protect and serve," and the El Dorado School District is grateful every day for their service!

The Memorial Stadium track is open!
Please remember that it is spring sport season, which means that BJHS/EHS Track & Field and Soccer is in season. Both teams use the stadium at various times.
The track will be closed on Monday-Friday each week from 4-6pm due to track practice. ESD will host track meets on March 13, 14 and 16; the track will close for these meets.
Additionally, there may be soccer games that would cause the track to be closed at night during the season.
