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.

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).
