The very first Kindness Award of the year! Congratulations to this Wildcat. You should be proud.

Hello EMSD Families! All EMSD bus routes have finished transporting our students, and we are safely having a great first day of school. Thank you again to everyone for the flexibility and understanding as we had to make last-minute changes this morning. Schools will dismiss with our planned one-hour early dismissal. Glenview will dismiss at 1:30 p.m., and elementary schools at 2:00 p.m. A quick explanation of our decision-making: EMSD buses began their routes as early as 6:15 a.m. to transport students. As severe weather conditions developed, several buses traveling through the hardest-hit areas had to pause their routes for safety reasons. This pause created delays on subsequent bus routes. Additionally, we wanted to ensure no family felt pressured to compromise on safety to get their child to school on time. We understand these disruptions caused inconvenience for many families today. While safety will always be our top priority, we remain committed to minimizing disruptions whenever possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding today, and we look forward to a successful school year ahead in EMSD!
