The Erlanger-Elsmere Schools will be open on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. While the conditions on our campuses are suitable for a safe return to school, there are still conditions on sidewalks and crosswalks across the two cities that warrant special attention. Lingering snow and ice on sidewalks and mounds of snow/ice from the plowing of roads are obstacles that will be present, especially for our walkers. The sidewalks and crosswalks in both cities remain mostly covered by snow and/or ice at this time.  Parents may wish to work with neighbors and family members to secure transportation to school tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing all of our students back in school tomorrow!

For the safety of our students, staff, and visitors all Erlanger-Elsmere Schools will be closed on Monday, February 7, 2022. This will be NTI Day #4 for students and staff.

We still have significant areas of ice on the sidewalks and entrances to our facilities. With temperatures dropping overnight and remaining below freezing through the morning a re-freeze will create some very slick and hazardous conditions.

All events at Erlanger-Elsmere Schools facilities are canceled from February 4th through February 6th. Our efforts are focused on cleaning and preparing our campuses for a safe reopening of schools on Monday, February 7th. Thank you.

The Erlanger-Elsmere Schools are closed tomorrow, January 18, 2022.

Our parking lots and campus sidewalks will not be in a condition to safely receive all students and staff, even with an hour delay. Cold temperatures will continue through the morning hours tomorrow that will effect our ability to melt the snow and ice for a safe arrival.

This is not an NTI day. It is a traditional school closure for weather related reasons.

Current CDC and DPH Covid-19 guidance will allow us to continue to prioritize in-person instruction for our students. We are making changes to our Covid-19 procedures that will take effect immediately. We will continue to practice social distancing whenever possible, universal masking, practicing good hand hygiene, and encourage all those eligible to get vaccinated and/or boosted.

As we continue to prioritize the health and safety of students, staff, and families and our commitment to in-person instruction for our students, it is important that we all continue to work together.

Wild Health will be administering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Scheben Gymnasium on Friday, December 10, 2021. This vaccine clinic is for EES students age 5 and up.

Family Resource Centers and Youth Service Centers: Removing barriers to student learning

Every day, the dedicated coordinators of our district’s Family Resource and Youth Service Centers work to reduce these barriers and to respond to student needs both in and out of school.

Dear EES Staff and Families,

I want to share some exciting news with you. On January 17, 2021, many of the Erlanger-Elsmere Schools staff took part in the COVID 19 vaccine program. We are so grateful to St. Elizabeth Healthcare for providing this service to our staff.

On Sunday, February 7, 2021, staff will receive their second dose of the COVID 19 vaccine. This puts us one-step closer to achieving our goal of returning our students to a more consistent model of in person instruction.

With such a large percentage of our staff receiving their second dose of the vaccine, and the potential side effects of the vaccine, we do anticipate a staff shortage on Monday, February 8, 2021.

Therefore, there will be no in person classes on Monday, February 8, 2021. All EES students should follow their school’s virtual learning schedule for the day.

I appreciate your understanding and flexibility in this matter. We are looking forward to the opportunities having our staff vaccinated will bring for your children in the near future. Thank you for your continued cooperation, collaboration, support, and patience. Should you have any questions please contact the Board Office, your child’s school, or the preschool staff.

Chad D. Molley, Superintendent

On July 3, we received a phone call informing us that a former employee had initiated inappropriate contact with a student in our district. We immediately advised the family to contact Erlanger Police.

Hope to see everyone there!

We would like your input on a few options that are presenting themselves through our discussions and planning. Please take a few moments to complete this survey and provide us with valuable information to guide our plan for the opening of our schools in 2020-2021.

The Board of Education of Erlanger-Elsmere Independent Schools is pleased to announce the selection of Mr. Chad Molley as the district’s next superintendent, effective August 1, 2020.

Many of the programs our schools, our cities, our state and our non-profits rely on need this data for funding. These are programs such as food services, educational, services, special education, federal programs, federal grants, roads, transportation, and other programs that are assisting our communities right now during this difficult time. Every 10 years, the United States government conducts the Census — a national accounting of everyone living in every state. A complete count is crucial so that Kentucky gets its fair share of federal funds for the next 10 years. Even though we are navigating a difficult time because of COVID-19, there couldn’t be a more important moment to fill out the census. Census data is used to determine school funding, federal disaster relief, hospital funding, Medicare, Medicaid, and more. 

As of this week only 51.8% of Elsmere Residents and 58.1% of Erlanger Residents had completed their Census Data.  Please do your part and complete your Census today.  Thank you!

Complete your Census here:  https://2020census.gov/

Due to the pandemic the state legislature is requiring that schools obtain the required number of 1062 hours to complete the school year.  Both in-person and NTI days count toward the 1062 hours.  The date at which the 1062 hours are achieved in our school district is May 8, 2020.  ​Therefore, May 8th will be the last NTI Day and the last day of school for students for the 2019-20 school year.  Thank you.

Today, Governor Beshear and Kevin Brown, our Interim State Commissioner of Education shared that the restriction on in-person instruction for students will be extended through the end of the school year. EES will follow this recommendation and continue our NTI Days to complete the 2019-2020 school year.  This means that our last NTI Day and our last day of school for students will be May 8, 2020. 

We will be sharing additional information in the upcoming days and weeks about the impact on end of the year activities and we will be working on planning out those details. Our district will also work to continue to provide meals throughout the NTI days and in the summer as much as possible. 

Our schools will be contacting you near the end of the week for continued assignments and instruction to complete the remaining weeks of NTI. Please contact our Board of Education if we can be of assistance to you.  Thank you.

The great work and partnerships of our teachers and staff members was recently highlighted in the NKY Tribune.  We are working hard, but we sure do miss our students! Thanks to our students, faculty and staff, our parents, and our community for working hard as well!  We are in this together.  #TeamKY  Find out more here:  https://www.nkytribune.com/2020/04/erlanger-elsmeres-e-newsletter-is-model-example-of-whats-going-on-between-teachers-students-today/

The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security issued a release describing a possible threat, generic in nature, to schools in Arkansas and Kentucky for Wednesday, August 28, 2019.  They have not confirmed the source or verified the threat.  The Kentucky Office released this statement:  

“We are aware of a Facebook post circulating about a possible incident at a school being planned for the 28th in Kentucky and the 29th in Arkansas.  Initially, the threat was reported to FBI Little Rock from an individual outside of the US.  The threat was read in a gaming chat room that indicated there is going to be an incident at a Kentucky on the 28th of this month.  The threat DID NOT name a specific location in either state and was very generalized.  At this time, the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED.  If anything further develops from this report, the KIFC will push out additional information as it becomes available.  The FBI and the KIFC, as well as state and local law enforcement, continue to monitor this situation.”

At no time was any Erlanger-Elsmere School specifically mentioned in the threat. The Erlanger-Elsmere School District will continue to communicate with local, state, and federal authorities as needed, going forward.  The safety of our students, staff and visitors is of the utmost importance to us.  As always, our school and district administrators are available to discuss any concerns.  

Through the promotion of healthy food options for students, EES Cafeterias are now offering healthy additions to students' packed lunches. If parents/guardians would like for their student to participate they can pick 3 items. If you have any questions please contact our food service department or talk with the food service manager at your student's school. Thank you!

Dear TMS Parents and Guardians,

Next Wednesday, September 27^th, Tichenor Middle School is starting a seven week Parent Engagement Academy called Leadership Scholars.  We will be serving dinner from 5:30-6:00 in the cafeteria and the program will be from 6:00 – 7:45 in a TMS classroom.  We will also provide child care if needed.  The program focuses on assisting parents with the strategies on how to keep a child on track for academic success and eventually college.  Parents will receive information on college, ideas on how to support your student’s academic pursuits, financial aid and scholarships.  The program will be led by 2 TMS faculty members.  At the end of the 7 week program parents will participate in a district-wide graduation ceremony. 

The program starts on Wednesday, September 27^th and runs every Wednesday for 7 weeks from 6:00 – 7:45.  

Please contact Mr. Cooley if you would like to sign-up or if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. Cooley

Ph: (859) 727-2255 

We are happy to welcome you and your children back to school and the start of the 2017-18 school year. The first day of school for all students in grades K-12 will be August 17th. Prior to the start of school, and as soon as we possibly could, we want to make you aware of an adjustment to our 2017-18 school calendar.

On Monday, August 21 , 2017 we will experience a total solar eclipse, an event that hasn't occurred over the U.S .mainland since 1979.  Since the eclipse will be at its peak around the time of dismissal in the afternoon, we do not want to take the risk of having children watch it without proper eye protection on their way home from school whether they are walking, riding buses, or waiting to be picked up from school. While we could provide students with protective glasses, we would need permission slips to do so, and we cannot guarantee they will wear them after school.

Therefore, August 21, 2017 will now be an off day for students and a staff only work day (PLC Day).

Erlanger-Elsmere Schools Food Services is offering free breakfast and lunch to students 18 and under. Adults can purchase meals at a low cost. Please see the attached flyer for locations and times.

Dear Tichenor Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,

6^th grade Parents –

Thursday, October 27^th, the Playhouse in the Park will be traveling to Tichenor Middle School to perform Robin Hood for our 6^th grade students!

Good and evil take center stage in this tale of a legendary outlaw who robs from the rich to give to the poor. Robin Hood and his merry band of underground heroes rally to support those who cannot fight for themselves. But when they run afoul of the greedy Prince John, the deceptive Sheriff of Nottingham devises an elaborate plot to discover Robin’s hideout and capture him once and for all. Full of swordfights and wordplay, this decidedly modern take on the classic story is a high-powered, action-packed adventure.

For 6^th graders who want to attend, the cost is $2. Please send money in to your child’s 1^st period teacher by Wednesday, October 26^th. Please call Mrs. Ryan, 727-2255, with any questions.

If you have an adult with you that day, you will eat breakfast from 8-8:30. All other students will eat at normal time. Please RSVP so we have enough food prepared.
