Welcome back our ELS students, family, and staff!
I want to remind everyone of the drop-off routing for our campus as well as keep everyone up to date on some safety related
subjects that will be important for the 24-25 school year. Parents dropping off their students, please note the attached map .
The K-3, K-6, and 7-12 drop off zones are the same as last year with K-3 directly out front of the lobby doors, 4-6 behind the
High School Building into the 4-6 entrance, and 7-12 located toward the front of the High School adjacent to the Student Parking
Lot. All students dropped off will enter their assigned buildings through their designated doors only.
Reminder: Please keep the bus parking area clear at all times during morning pick up to allow for smooth safe flow of traffic
at all times. Also remember that all buses have right of way at ALL TIMES while on campus. This is to allow them to quickly and safely
leave campus to allow for a smoother flow of traffic.
Note: Teacher parking is located behind the high school there is to be no parent parking beyond the weight room.
The Student Parking Lot is also closed to any non-school students between the hours of 7 to 3. Students must be registered for a
designated spot and follow all school rules and guidelines pertaining to student driving.
Here at Easter Local, I make the safety of our students, staff, and parents my top priority. I look forward to seeing everyone
and thank you all for your cooperation in helping to continue to keep Eastern safe.
Thank you.
-Deputy Joe Barnhart
