Hello Kindergarten!
The first day of school is August 15th
Helpful information for ESES:
Our district requires a clear or mesh backpack for the 2022-2023 school year.
All other school supplies will be provided by the school.
We must have a bus transportation form filled out for every student. Bus rider or not.
To avoid any confusion, please make sure your child knows what their transportation will be for that day when you drop-off in the morning. As always you are welcome to write a note to the teacher if regular plans have changed for the day.
Don't forget your Picture Identification. You will always be asked to show your I.D. when picking up your child and/or visiting our campus. Please understand this is for their safety.
I am Rachel Crowley and I am from Mountain Home, AR. I graduated from Arkansas Tech University this past December. My primary instrument is trumpet. At Tech I was involved in the marching band, symphonic band, and concert band. In the concert band I got the chance to play flute and saxophone. I also served as the Music Librarian for my last two years on campus. I am excited to start teaching in Eureka Springs! Go Highlanders!
