The Ephrata School District is committed to building a bridge between KIDS and their LEARNING. We believe that exceptional INSTRUCTION and ASSESSMENT, combined with ACTIVE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, are the keys to this bridge. Professional Development (PD) and collaborative teams (PLCs) provide essential supports for this bridge, while family involvement, a positive school culture and state-of-the-art facilities, a health and safe environment, and dedicated staff form the bedrock of this bridge's foundation. Working together, we can ensure that our KIDS have the support they need to cross this bridge successfully.
