Unfortunately, the refreeze on roadways overnight has created hazardous travel conditions once again. For now, our reopening delay has been moved to 10:00 a.m. - classes in all divisions will begin at 10:00 a.m. Campus will open for student drop off at 9:30 a.m.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will send another communication to confirm or change our reopening plan by 7:30 a.m.

Due to ongoing inclement weather, ESD's campus will remain closed through at least Wednesday, February 1, 2023. All of Wednesday’s classes and activities are canceled.

Please stay safe. This winter storm has brought ice, sleet, and snow, making traveling on highways and side streets treacherous. Should your family experience any hardship over the course of this storm, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help in any way we can.

We will continue to communicate updates with you via email, text, and our website. Stay warm and safe, Eagles!
