Clarification from EEMS on Fall sports We have seen a few posts and received a few emails with questions: Home school / fully remote students are able to tryout for soccer or run cross country. Soccer is for students grade 6-8. Cross country is for students grades 5-8 If a student is trying out for soccer (Grades 6-8): Parents are responsible for getting them here on the off days if they are hybrid. Parents are responsible for getting them here if they are fully remote. Cross country: If a hybrid student is participating in cross country (at this point in time) they are to be here on there color school days only. Coach will provide instructions for off days. If a fully remote student is participating in cross country (at this point in time) they are to be assigned to a cohort (Maroon or gray) by coach and to be here on there color school days only. Coach will provide instructions for off days. Sorry to say that we are still waiting on guidance for Drama. Please email twood@ellsworthschools.org if you have any further questions

ESD School Board Meeting Postponed to Friday, September 11, 2020 The agenda for this evening’s meeting included as its primary item “Discussion and Consideration of Fall Athletics.” As communicated when we postponed the Board meeting on Tuesday evening, we anticipated receiving updated guidance for school sports from the Maine Principals’ Association and State agencies earlier today. However, as of 2:15 p.m. this afternoon, that guidance has yet to be released to school departments. So that administration may review the revised guidelines and finalize a recommendation and that the Board may review, properly discuss, and consider the recommendation, we are postponing the meeting until Friday, September 11, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in City Council Chambers, broadcast on the city public access channel and streamed live over Facebook.
