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

This morning, Mr. Jason Stoltz, director of the Lloyd High School Marching Band, advised district administrators that several band members had come in contact with a person outside of band practice who was exhibiting flu-like symptoms. After consultation with our district health personnel – and out of an abundance of caution and concern for our Marching Band family – we are discontinuing all band practice for the remainder of the week. District and band staff will continue to monitor this situation and will advise accordingly as information becomes available.

The health and safety of our students is always our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our District Board Office at 859.727.2009.

The Erlanger-Elsmere School District takes our responsibility to provide a rigorous, standards-based, quality education in a safe learning environment very seriously. It is with this responsibility in mind that we have approached our decision on how to begin the 2020-2021 school year.

Mr. Chad Molley, incoming superintendent of Erlanger-Elsmere Schools, has shared another update about the 2020-2021 school year in an effort to give you as much information as we have, as soon as we have it.

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.

​The Kentucky Department of Education recently released their safety expectations for the upcoming school year, and in order to meet them, our school experience is going to be a little bit different than it has in the past. Right now, we’re collaborating with representatives at the school and district levels, our Board of Education, and state and local agencies to work through these expectations to determine how we can best implement them in our schools.

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.

Students will need to sign in to their district Google account in order to complete the Student Survey.

Please respond by no later than Sunday, July 12, 2020.

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!

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!

This puts the anticipated return date as April 20th for KY students.  Therefore, our district will continue with NTI Days March 30-April 3, have Spring Break April 6-10, then have NTI Days April 13-17.  Again, the current anticipated date for students to return to school would be April 20th.  Our district and our schools will send out more specific information on Monday.  We will continue to provide breakfast and lunch to students throughout the NTI days and during Spring Break,  Thank you. 

* Due to high demand, we are currently unable to accept any additional Food Pantry Orders at this time.  Some orders will be modified in order to assist more families.  At this time we are planning to deliver orders on March 24th.  More information will be sent out on Friday, March 20th.  Thank you.

Our Food Pantries at Arnett and Tichenor will be open on March 24, 2020 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. In order to practice social distancing and other recommendations from the CDC we are asking that you pre-order the items you will need and we will have them bagged and ready for pick-up. Each site has different items, so you will need to be sure to fill out the Google form for Arnett if you plan to go to Arnett or the Google Formf or Tichenor if you plan to go to Tichenor. Here are the links for ordering: Arnett Order Form: https://forms.gle/4qqku66xSyvu2h8t5 Tichenor Order Form: https://forms.gle/kepUcCZaNgmPRYZ89 Thank you.

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.

Parents, Guardians, and Students,

As a reminder we adjusted our school calendar to have tomorrow, November 3, 2017, (which was originally a "staff only" day) now be a day for students and staff to attend school.  This change did not add any days to the calendar for students or staff and still allows the same last day for students to attend school to be May 21, 2018 (pending any weather closings).  We are looking forward to seeing all of our students for school tomorrow!

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 Preschool has announced the dates and times for registration for the 2017-2018 school year. Check out the attached flyer for more information, including where to go, what time to go, and what to bring in order for your registration to go smoothly!
