Further official alerts regarding our district will be shared with families through our Kinvo messaging system. We ask our parents/families to ensure they've created a Campus Parent Account and have updated contact information, so they can receive our Kinvo messages. Families can also find updates on our ECCSS website and our district Facebook page.
Please monitor our district and school communications, as well as district social media, for any further developments. Student, employee, family, and community safety are our number one priority. Please take time before the storm's arrival to make sure that your hurricane plans are in place and that you have the needed supplies to weather the storm. Stay safe!
