Due to privacy requirements, we will not be releasing the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her.

Campus administrators will contact any individuals determined to be in close contact with the infected individual. All students and staff that came into close contact will be directly notified as soon as possible. We will keep you apprised of further updates that may be necessary.

Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection: • Feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit • Loss of taste or smell • Cough • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath • Fatigue • Headache • Chills • Sore throat • Congestion or runny nose • Shaking or exaggerated shivering • Significant muscle pain or ache • Diarrhea, nausea or vomiting If you or any member of the EISD community does begin experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician.

Parents, Guardians, and Community Members, It has come to our attention that an outside entity is soliciting "sponsorships" from local businesses for our school programs such as athletics. Please know that if the request does not come from a EISD student, local booster club, or group sponsor/coach it is more than likely a scam and none of the funds go to help EISD students and programs. We appreciate all the support that our students receive from the EISD community to help improve their overall educational experience. If you have any questions about a solicitation that you think might not be legit please feel free to contact the campus offices or central administration. Thank you, Jeremy Williams -Assistant Superintendent
