CORE Values - It Matters
The best way for children to learn is through repetition. As your child(ren) go through each month's Core Values theme at school, please talk to your child(ren) about the theme at home. It's very simple. Just follow the tips below and SAY, KNOW, SEE and BE with your child. Thank you
Valores BÁSICOS: Sí Importa
La mejor forma de que los niños aprendan es a través de la repetición. A medida que su (s) hijo (s) pasan por el tema de Valores Fundamentales de cada mes en la escuela, por favor hable con su (s) hijo (s) sobre el tema en casa. Es muy simple. Unicamente siga los consejos a continuación y DIGA, CONOZCA, VEA y ESTÉ con su hijo. ¡Gracias!

New Covid Provisions
Beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 25, the District will begin using updated COVID provisions and we want to make you aware of a few changes. These changes were approved by the Board of Trustees working in collaboration with health authorities from the region. The new provisions set the expectations that anyone on campus wear a face mask through Feb. 15. Those who are unable or unwilling to wear a face mask may opt out by submitting out a one-question survey. A link to the survey has been emailed to all parents and is also available on our website at www.episd.org/COVID19.
The District also updated its protocols to align to CDC and regional guidelines for people who test positive for COVID. Starting on Tuesday, any person who has tested positive must isolate at home for 5 days. If on Day 6 and onward, the person is symptom free and fever free, he or she may return to campus as long as they agree to wear a face mask at least through the tenth day after their positive diagnosis. Those who are unable or unwilling to wear a face mask will isolate for a full 10 days at home.
For more information on EPISD’s COVID protocols, log on to www.episd.org/COVID19.
A partir del martes 25 de enero, el Distrito comenzará a utilizar las disposiciones actualizadas de COVID y queremos informarle sobre algunos cambios. Estos cambios fueron aprobados por el Patronato en colaboración con las autoridades sanitarias de la región.
Las nuevas disposiciones establecen las expectativas de que cualquier persona en el campus use una máscara facial hasta el 15 de febrero. Aquellos que no puedan o no quieran usar una máscara facial pueden optar por no participar enviando una encuesta de una pregunta. Se envió un enlace a la encuesta por correo electrónico a todos los padres y también está disponible en nuestro sitio web en www.episd.org/COVID19.
El Distrito también actualizó sus protocolos para alinearse con las pautas regionales y de los CDC para las personas que dan positivo por COVID. A partir del martes, toda persona que haya dado positivo deberá aislarse en su domicilio durante 5 días. Si a partir del día 6 en adelante, la persona no tiene síntomas ni fiebre, puede regresar al campus siempre que acepte usar una máscara facial al menos hasta el décimo día después de su diagnóstico positivo. Aquellos que no puedan o no quieran usar una máscara facial se aislaron durante 10 días completos en casa.
