EJPS is . . . "A Great Place to Learn"

Dear Parents, Students, and Community,

As we kick off the 2025–2026 school year, I want to start by saying thank you for choosing East Jordan Public Schools. Serving this district and this community is both a privilege and a blessing, and it’s something I do not take lightly.

This year, our theme is simple: One Team – One Mission. We are all in this together, preparing our students to succeed not only in school, but in life. Our vision is to help our kids grow into caring, thoughtful, and capable young people who have the skills and character to reach their potential and make a difference in an ever changing society.

To get there, we’re focusing on five areas:

  • Instructional Excellence – making sure every student receives strong, high-quality teaching.

  • Family Engagement – building real partnerships with parents and caregivers to support kids.

  • Wellness – caring for the physical, emotional, and mental health of students and staff.

  • Academic Readiness – preparing students to learn and grow, including a new literacy curriculum at the elementary.

  • Continuous Improvement – reflecting, adjusting, and always looking for ways to better our craft and service to this community.

Our guiding principles—attitude, effort, and accountability—aren’t just words we put on a wall. Life will always throw challenges at us, but we control how we respond to those challenges. With the right mindset, consistent effort, and a willingness to take responsibility, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish when we focus on those things within our control.

None of this happens without partnership. Our staff will show up ready each day with high expectations and meaningful lessons. We ask our students to come ready to learn, and we ask families to keep supporting them at home in that endeavor. When we all do our part, East Jordan truly is a special place for kids to learn and grow.

We have a lot to be proud of here at EJ and even more to look forward to. Let’s make this year one where we support one another, celebrate our progress, and keep building on the strong foundation we’ve created together.

With gratitude and Red Devil Pride,

Enos M. Bacon III
Superintendent, East Jordan Public Schools
