Campus Safety and First Aid is a Priority...

Every school year EPS staff revisits our campus safety procedures. Due to the nature of our program, reviewing our safety guidelines is required for all of our parent-teachers. Thank you for partnering with us!

#1. Carefully read the Safety Power Point - click on the banner above

#2. Look for the link to the Safety Survey at the end of the Power Point

#3. Take the Safety Survey by the deadline

#4. Check your answers to make sure you receive 100% on the survey by clicking View Results.

#5. If you did not get 100%, review the Power Point and retake the survey until you get 100%


*Completing this survey is required and must be done on time for signing up for 2nd semester classes in the first round.
