Plows are on our vehicles and Ephrata School District maintenance crews are getting ready for winter weather. It takes an army of employees to battle the snow and ice to make schools safe on winter days. Maintenance crews get to work at 4:30 a.m. to start clearing sidewalks, parking lots, bus loops and other high traffic areas. They're helped by our day custodians to clear paths for students and staff. We appreciate all their efforts to make school run safely.
Ephrata High School will be released at 12:10 p.m. to start Thanksgiving Break. School will resume at 9:10 a.m. on Monday, November 28. The bell schedule for November 23 is as follows:

Students and staff at Ephrata Middle School have been busy moving into a newly remodeled wing of their school today. The move marks the end of the second phase of remodeling at EMS and includes new classroom and shop spaces, bathrooms and administrative offices. Renovations are part of a bond passed by the Ephrata community in 2019.
