Our second-graders are using their #EASDLifeReady creativity and collaboration skills to build prototypes of local community business as part of their annual Cornerstone project! Impressive work, Mountaineers!






Our 2nd graders are about to bring local businesses to life through their Cornerstone project prototypes! Today, architect Charlie Yohe inspired them with stories, insights, and the importance of #EASDLifeReady traits. Stay tuned for their creations next month!





A perfect day to learn outside! Today, PA Dept. of Conservation & Natural Resources specialists joined Clay Elementary 4th graders for an outdoor adventure inspired by the novel, "Hatchet." Students used their five senses for observations, tracked animals prints, and learned about fire safety.







During School Social Work Week, join us in thanking these incredible Mountaineers for their important work in our schools and communities!


School Board Resolutions included the recognitions of a variety of student achievements in music, FFA, and more. Additionally, Clay Elementary School principal Dr. Christopher Montagna was honored for recently earning a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Congrats, Mountaineers!





Last night's School Board meeting was full of highlights! Directors approved full-day Kindergarten for 25-26, celebrated music and athletics achievements, highlighted Ag Mechanics and Student Tutoring, and honored "Be The E" staff. Plus, directors were recognized for School Board Recognition Month.





Our first year in the @inventitforward Invention Convention was a success! Out of 500+ PA entries, THREE EASD teams were named among the top 21 in the STATE! These students will compete on Feb. 12 for a spot in the June National Convention. Congrats & Good Luck, Mountaineers!





We are proud to again be a part of GIANT Feeding School Kids initiative. Since 2021, over $19,000 has been provided to help ensure all EASD students have adequate access to meals. Now – March 31 "round up at the register" to help support this worthy cause!


Nothing but smiles on Mountaineer Pride Fridays!



Elementary students enjoyed a holiday breakfast for lunch. Just look at those smiles! Clay students thought this was a perfect reason to also wear PJs to school! Good thinking, Mountaineers!




Good morning! We are experiencing districtwide phone difficulties this morning. We expect this issue to be resolved within the next hour or so. In the meantime, the best way to communicate with office staff in each school is to use the following email addresses:

Welcome back, Mountaineers!



These Clay Mountaineers built some amazing catapults to launch pumpkins today!










As National School Lunch Week comes to an end, we are sending a loud SHOUT-OUT (and an "AHOY, MATEY") to our amazing food service staff! Thank you for all you do!


What a beautiful fall day for the annual 4th grade field trip to the Ephrata Cloister. Students will use what learned today to reflect upon and answer the question: How has PA changed over time?





Students are showing their patriotism today, as well as honoring the brave first responders who keep our community safe on a daily basis. #MountsPride #PatriotDay
