All district after school programs are cancelled until further notice.  Please make arrangements to pick up your students at dismissal time.
We will keep district families and staff informed with updates if the fire causes any school closures.  For the latest updates, please follow us on EUSD Facebook and EUSD Tweets (Twitter).
