Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. When students attend regularly, they have more time to build skills, strengthen relationships, and stay connected to what's happening in class. Families, help your student make attendance a priority -- one school day at a time.
From the first day of school to every performance, competition, and milestone along the way, Principal Benavidez helps our Fine Arts Academy students shine. Her leadership creates a school where creativity, confidence, and student success take center stage. This National Principals Month, we proudly celebrate Principal Benavidez and thank her for inspiring our artists, supporting our staff, and helping students discover their talents every day.
Don't forget! Friday, October 9 is a student holiday. Most EISD schools will not have classes.
Gardendale ELP will be on a regular schedule.
ACE Campuses - HBG, RDLA and Perales - will be on an 11:45 a.m. early release schedule. Questions? Contact your campus front office.

Pack your bag. Set your alarm. Get some rest.

Your team counts on you on game day. Your future counts on you every school day.
Athletes know success starts with showing up.
You show up for practice.
You show up for your teammates.
You show up when the game is on the line.
Bring that same commitment to the classroom.
Strong school attendance helps student-athletes stay on track with assignments, protect their grades and make the most of every opportunity.
The game plan is simple:
✓ Be in class every day.
✓ Arrive on time.
✓ Stay focused.
✓ Ask for help before you fall behind.
Talent can open doors. Discipline keeps them open.
Show up for your team. Show up for your education. Show up for your future.
That text can wait. Your student’s future can’t.
At Edgewood ISD, we want every student focused, connected and ready to learn.
That’s why personal devices must be powered OFF and stored OUT OF SIGHT during the school day.
And it’s more than a school rule. Texas law requires public schools to prohibit student use of personal communication devices during the school day.
One notification can become one distraction. One distraction can mean missing directions, an important lesson or a chance to connect with classmates.
Together, we can keep classrooms focused on what matters most: our students and their success.
