Greetings Lancer Families,
The Edinburgh Community School Board, administration, faculty, and staff are excited to celebrate the start of the 2022-2023 School Year with our students and families. This is my second year as the superintendent at Edinburgh Community Schools. It was an honor to meet so many of you over the course of the last year and I look forward to meeting many more of you this coming school year. The first day of school will be on Thursday, July 28, 2022. Open Houses are July 26, 2022, from 5-6 PM at the Middle/High School and from 5:30-6:30 PM at Eastside Elementary School. We hope to see you on campus Tuesday evening!
Every start to the school year is exciting! We are hopeful that COVID is behind us, and we can truly get back to normal. People often ask me why educators are so busy in the summer. We are diligently preparing for the Fall Semester. Our administrators, teachers and staff have worked throughout the summer to prepare for the school year ahead. If our hard work is any indication of the type of school year we will have, I know it is going to be a momentous year for the Lancers!
Although COVID appears to be behind us, we are still required to have protocols in place. They are the least restrictive requirements that we are required to have in place. You can find them on our webpage if you would like to review them. We will continue to thoroughly clean our buildings and disinfect commonly touched surfaces.
Last year we welcomed back many of the activities and traditions that had been limited or eliminated due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. This year we are hopeful to welcome back any and all traditions that have been limited or eliminated over the past couple of years.
Our wonderful team of educators have worked to develop plans to identify students who need extra support and provide additional assistance as needed. It is our belief that students learn best in a classroom receiving in person instruction from their teachers and support staff. Covid has changed our world and we realize that some families may have needs that require students to attend virtually. We have plans in place to support these students and families on a case-by-case basis but are going to require some in-person check-ins for accountability purposes.

We value and appreciate the meaningful relationships that we have with our students, families, and the Edinburgh community. We are looking forward to strengthening and expanding those relationships during the upcoming school year to provide the best opportunities for our students!
We are so excited for the new school year! We cannot wait to see everyone this Fall!
Yours in Education,
Ron Ross
ECSC Superintendent
