School resumes on Monday, 4-25-22. With only 5 weeks of school left, every day matters. Let's try for a perfect finish to the school year.

Free Take Home COVID-19 Test Kits
The California Department of Public Health in conjunction with the Stanislaus County Office of Education has provided our district with another set of Free Take Home COVID-19 Test Kits. Our designated supply of test kits is enough for every EUSD student to receive two test kits. Each test kit contains two COVID-19 tests, thereby each student may receive four (4) free COVID-19 take home tests. The test kits can be picked-up from your school site’s front office counter. The test kits will be available beginning on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 12 through the afternoon of Thursday, April 14th. It’s important to remember there is ‘No School’ on Friday, April 15th and ‘No School’ all next week due to it being our ‘Spring Break’. Beyond Spring Break, we’ll continue to make the Free Take Home COVID-19 Test Kits available until supplies run out.
