2023-2024 EMS Handbook

Welcome!

At the Ephrata School District, we exist for kids and learning. We are deeply committed to every child’s journey and we’re driven to make sure that every child graduates ready for career and life. This “Rights and Responsibilities” handbook is a tool to share the policies, procedures and laws relevant to promoting and enforcing our expectations for positive and caring learning environments. When we work together and share high expectations for responsible, respectful character, we can ensure students grow in positive ways and learn from teachable moments. 

Please dedicate time to review this important information with your student(s) and consider this a resource guide to assist you in communicating the high expectations we share. Thank you for your partnership and reinforcing our high expectations for safe and respectful schools. 

Best wishes for a successful school year!
