During the mandated school closure, all ESD athletic facilities will be closed to the public. The track at Memorial Stadium will remain open for public use, however, use of the football field will not be allowed. Additionally, in keeping with illness prevention recommendations, we discourage the gathering of groups at the track. We encourage you to utilize the track for exercise to protect your physical and mental well-being during this time while still maintaining social distance. We appreciate your cooperation as the football field and our other athletic facilities are closed.

Student Athletes: Please note these important messages from the Arkansas Activities Association.

Students who have medications with our school nurses are encouraged to pick them up by noon on Tuesday.

In adherence with the CDC’s recommendations, El Dorado Schools will remain open unless a confirmed case of COVID-19 becomes present in our area. It is important to know that the El Dorado School District cannot make the decision to close. The decision is made by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.  In the event that this happens and our schools have to close, we have sent home AMI information with our students today. Please keep this information in a safe place. You may also access this information from our website under the Student section of the Menu. AMI packets are only to be done in the event of school closures. If our schools close, we will post that information to our website and social media pages. Please follow El Dorado School District and download our mobile app to get the most up to date information.

End of year testing will begin April 16. Check out the calendars on our website to see when your child's tests will take place. http://www.eldoradopublicschools.org/o/district/browse/110003
