The National Weather Service has issued a tropical storm warning for our area. Hurricane Laura is expected to bring rain and high winds to El Dorado tomorrow. Out of caution, the El Dorado School District will not hold face-to-face classes tomorrow, Thursday, August 27, 2020. All classes will be virtual.
We are aware that some of our onsite students do not have a device at home. Any student who does not have access to a device or the internet will not be penalized and will have opportunities to complete their assignments.
Grab and Go breakfast will be available for pickup from 8:00-10:00 a.m. at Retta Brown Gifted and Talented Center for elementary and middle schools and at El Dorado High School for junior high and high school students.
Decisions about Friday will be announced tomorrow. We realize this is a late announcement and apologize for any inconvenience.


As with any inclement weather situation, we are monitoring updates on Hurricane Laura closely. We do not expect for there to be any changes to our school schedule as a result of the rain and high winds. However, we will continue to monitor the situation and, as always, will act with the safety of our students as our priority. If there are any changes to school schedules or bus routes, they will be posted to our website, social media and communicated through local radio.
