Eula Independent School District

Attention Seniors and Parents of Seniors: We are committed to honor the accomplishments of our soon to be graduates. Eula ISD's plan is to hold an in person graduation on May 22. We are currently weighing different options, and working to come up with a plan that honors our seniors, and maintains the safety of everyone. As we know more, we will be in contact.

Mr. Danser's 4th grade class Imagine Math Facts classrooms just scored the biggest GOAL of their school year! Mr. Danser's 4th Grade classrooms worked extremely hard mastering their facts and increasing their fact fluency. They have earned the title of “Imagine Math Fact Cup Classroom Winners” for their fact fluency. They will receive a Pizza Party upon their return to school in August, courtesy of Imagine Math. Congratulations to Mr. Danser's 4th grade classrooms for their amazing efforts this Spring. Mastering your facts is the biggest GOAL you can achieve with Imagine Math Facts! (This was a state and nation wide contest)

This year's cheer/mascot tryouts will be held differently this year. If you are interested in trying out for cheerleader, please contact Coach Thompson via e-mail by Friday, May 1st to get details at gordonj@eulaisd.net. Tryouts will be conducted on Tuesday, May 5th virtually. Please direct all questions to Coach Thompson.

Eula Athletes: The UIL announced today the cancellation of the remainder of the spring sports season. We are heartbroken to see this news, but realize it’s in the interest of your health and safety. This is just another example of the lessons you have learned in athletics throughout the years, being put into play again. We are accustomed to “you win some, you lose some”.... but very rarely have we ever been faced with not being able to play the game and compete. Some of you may feel that “all of your work was for nothing.” This could not be further from the truth. The work you put into preparing for this spring is the part of the JOURNEY that is the most important. Although you didn’t get a chance to reach your destination, you can look back on your journey and be proud of the way you prepared. Seniors, you are off to bigger and better things. You will find times in life that, like this season, don’t work out due to things out of your control. You can look back at this spring and realize that regardless the outcome, you want to make sure you prepare each day in a way you can be proud of. Our younger athletes should never take for granted a chance to prepare (practice), because they now know that your next practice or game is not guaranteed. We are proud of another great year for Eula Athletics, and know that this spring was going to be the best one yet! We will find a way to honor our seniors at some point. We hope, as restrictions become less, that we will have summer opportunities to get back to work preparing for next year with our younger athletes. In the meantime, your work and commitment is in your hands. We can send workouts, but it’s up to you to make sure you can look back and be proud of your preparation when we all return! Eula Coaches

The Governor announced today that all schools will remain closed for the remainder of the school year. This is tough news to handle for our staff and teachers that miss our students. We are especially sad for our graduating seniors. Eula ISD will continue to provide remote instruction for the remainder of the school year. We will be in touch as soon as possible with a plan for end of year activities for our students. (Graduations, proms, end of year device returns, etc.) Together, we will continue to work through this situation, and focus on the well being of our students, staff, and community. #PiratePride

We have about 25 grab and go meals for the week that we’re not picked up Monday. If you did not pick one up Monday, and need one, they will be available from 10AM-12PM today at the Elementary drop off.
