The 100th day of school is THIS Friday! Let's celebrate by dressing up like we are 100 years old or wearing a shirt designed with 100 things we love!

Pending weather conditions, the El Dorado School District will start two hours late tomorrow, February 2, 2023. All ESD schools will begin at 10am. Buses will run their regular routes, and students may be dropped off beginning at 9:30am.
If weather conditions change or become more severe, further guidance will be provided.
Due to the high probability of inclement weather and the winter weather advisory in place for Union County, the El Dorado School District will use an AMI (Alternate Method of Instruction) Day for Wednesday, February 1st. Please follow the AMI guidance provided by your school. All campuses will be closed. All extracurricular activities scheduled for tomorrow are canceled and will be rescheduled if and when possible. Further announcements will be made if the closure is extended.

Congratulations to this Yocum Bear on his positive office referral!
