Did you know regular attendance can support better grades? Being in class each day gives students more opportunities to learn, practice new skills, and stay on track.
When students show up, they’re ready to learn, and every lesson counts!
During the latest session, aspiring leaders reflected on their leadership identities and the professional experiences that have shaped their leadership journeys.
Through intentional development and meaningful opportunities to learn and grow, the district continues to invest in professional development.
Special thanks to Dr. Taylor for leading.
Did you know missing school can make it harder for students to keep up? When students are absent, they can miss important lessons and learning opportunities.
Being present means more opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed! 📚
The East Orange School District proudly celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month! We honor the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities.
Throughout our schools, we celebrate the diversity that makes our district strong and recognize the many voices and experiences that help shape our community.
Today, we pause as a district to honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless individuals, families, and communities forever changed by that day.
On this 25th anniversary, we honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who came together in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.
Did you know September is Attendance Awareness Month? Join us throughout the month as we share quick facts about why daily attendance matters and how showing up each day supports student success.
Every day counts!
