A Few Reminders: Registration is still open to all returning students for the 2020-2021 school year. Please take the time to get your student registered. Chromebooks need to be returned ASAP. If your student failed a class for the year, we will be in contact about making up the credit this summer (online) or next fall (in person) If you have registered online and returned your chromebook, we will begin registering your students for their 2020-2021 classes beginning June 15th. We will send out emails and instructions for you to pick classes so check your emails (student's email) starting on Monday the 15th. We will start with incoming seniors and work our way to incoming freshman. If your student has not received an email by June 18th, please call the office and we will get them set up. Have a great summer and be safe.

Eastland Independent School District Faculty, Staff and Parents, As EISD makes every effort to comply with the recommendations of our national, state, and local health care officials and in order to provide consistency and continuity regarding our instructional deployment, we have decided to close all campuses in EISD until we can ensure the health and safety of our students. An advance notice will be given to all stakeholders when campuses will reopen to students. Education will continue in the distance learning format. Students still have academic responsibilities and grades will be taken. We have made every effort to contact every student. If you or your student has not been in contact with your child’s school, it is important that you do so ASAP. Communication is the key to success as we navigate this new learning environment together. Dr. Jason Cochran Superintendent, EISD

Public Announcement: In an effort to reduce the spread of the COVID 19 virus, Eastland Independent School District is going to reduce the amount of on campus staff to essential personnel only. Visitors will be seen by appointment only. Please contact your individual campuses for details. It is important that we do our best to comply with all of the suggestions made to reduce the spread of COVID 19.

Each person will sign in and complete the “self-screening” questions before entering the building. Please note, visitors will be seen by appointment. This is uncharted territory for all of us. Thank you for your patience as we make necessary changes. Below is an example of the sign in sheet… Staff sign in: 1. Have you taken your temperature today? Circle one: Yes No 2. Do you currently have a fever? Circle one: Yes No 3. Do you have a fever and symptoms of lower respiratory illness (e.g., cough, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath)? Circle one: Yes No 4.
