Dear EHS Families,

Today, at approximately 10:15am, EHS was evacuated due to a reported incident involving smoke within the building. As soon as the incident was reported, the fire department promptly arrived on the scene to assess the situation. We are grateful to report that they determined there were no hazards or safety concerns.

The source of the issue was identified as a malfunctioning air compressor. We are addressing this matter to prevent any future occurrences and ensure the ongoing safety of our school environment. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to our staff and students for their cooperation during the evacuation process. Additionally, we would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the fire department for their swift response and assistance in resolving the situation. As always, we will continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our EHS community. If you have any concerns or questions regarding this incident, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to maintain a secure and positive learning environment for our students.

Sincerely,

Erin E. Clark

Principal

Enfield High School Students and Families,

We look forward to welcoming students back to school Tuesday, August 29th!  The first day of school is an "A" day and first period starts promptly at 7:26 a.m.  Good attendance is an important predictor of success in high school, and so we are asking all students to strive for excellent attendance and punctuality this school year.  Being on time is especially important because our educators use the first moments of class to prime the brain for optimal learning!

Parents who drop students off in the morning should use the designated parent drop-off loop closest to the tennis courts at the front of the building.  Please note that the busiest time for buses and traffic is 7:00 a.m-7:15 a.m.  Parents may use the bus loops after 7:15 a.m., but please wait until the buses have finished releasing students. The building will open for student at precisely 7:10 a.m.

For parents opting to retrieve students at the end of the day, please wait until after the buses have dismissed.  Buses occupy the parent drop-off loop until approximately 2:10 p.m.  Waiting until this time to pick up your student is the best way to avoid contributing to the end-of-day traffic congestion.  We ask that all those dropping off and picking up students take special care to follow safe driving practices and proceed with caution for the safety of our students. 

In addition to being physically present, being on time and ready to learn also involves being mentally present for learning.  Please remember that students must keep their personal phones and devices off and away during class time so that they can attend to learning tasks and opportunities to develop important academic, social, and emotional skills.  Research has shown that limiting screen time is linked to improved academic performance and student well-being.  The American Academy of Pediatricians recommend limiting screen time for teenagers to less than 2 hours daily (except for homework). 

As we approach the new school year, we hope every student approaches this new opportunity with an open mind, hope, and optimism.  American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote,

“Write it on your heart

that every day is the best day in the year.

He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day

who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.

You have done what you could.

Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.

Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;

begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit

to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,

with its hopes and invitations,

to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

While we recognize optimism alone will not solve all problems, we know there is great power in students adopting a positive attitude, an open mind, and a growth mindset.  We wish all our students a great first day of school and school year! 

Sincerely,

Erin E. Clark

Principal

To the students and parents/guardians of the class of 2027, 

Hello and welcome to Enfield High School!  We’re excited to welcome you to our school community!  We have so much to offer here, and we’re looking forward to sharing it all with you! We will be holding freshman orientation over the course of two days.  Students with the last name A-L will have orientation on Friday, August 18, and students with the last name M-Z will meet on Monday, August 21.

Students are also encouraged to bring their EPS issued iPad to orientation.  This way, they can familiarize themselves with their schedules, which should be available on PowerSchool by orientation.  Also, this will give students the opportunity to perform any software updates while on the school network.  

Buses will pick students up in the morning and drop them off at the conclusion of orientation.  The bus schedule will be available on our website prior to orientation, and an email will be sent out with bus stop information as well.  

Orientation will run from 7:26 AM to 11:00 AM.  At orientation, students will meet our building administrators, district coordinators, take a tour of the building, and learn about the many fun and enriching curricular and extra-curricular activities that EHS has to offer.  Rising 9th graders will work with current student leaders, who will assist them with activities throughout the day and answer any questions they may have.  We are also hopeful that students will be able to receive and become familiar with their schedules at orientation.  

In summary: 

• Orientation for 9th graders with last names A-L: Friday, August 18 from 7:26-11:00
• Orientation for 9th graders with last names M-Z: Monday, August 21 from 7:26-11:00
• Buses will be provided to and from school both days
• Students who do not ride a bus may be dropped off between 7:15 and 7:26, and may be picked up between 11:05 and 11:15
• Lunch will not be served, but there will be a special treat at the end!  

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to email Mr. Murray, Dean of the class of 2025, at mfmurray@enfieldschools.org.  We look forward to seeing you!
