Our high school students can also take advantage of AP courses and a wide variety of CTE opportunities, including welding, woods, drafting, business, autos, and more.
Small school. Big opportunities. A great place to learn, grow, and belong.
You can register online at ejps.org. A birth certificate, proof of residency and immunization records are required for enrollment.
What a wonderful week at East Jordan Public Schools!
We began with our Welcome Back celebration, where we recognized our staff, shared our mission and vision for the year ahead, and celebrated years of service, weddings, new babies, children beginning kindergarten, and parents of seniors preparing for graduation. We also welcomed our new staff members and introduced them to the EJPS team.
Our staff luncheon featured some finely grilled meats, summer’s finest ice cream, favorite toppings, and plenty of smiles. The week was also packed with professional learning, including SEBH-PBIS training to strengthen social, emotional, and behavioral supports in our classrooms, along with UFLI training for our elementary staff.
Wednesday evening concluded with a Hot Dog Dinner at both buildings, generously provided by our Board of Education, followed by a well-attended Open House. It was wonderful to welcome our students and families back into our schools and to be reminded of the tremendous community support surrounding EJPS.
There were many moving parts throughout the week and a great deal of work behind the scenes. Thank you to our administrators, teachers, support staff, Board members, and everyone else who helped make the week such a success.
We are ready to welcome our students on Monday and look forward to another year of providing a high-quality education to the children of the community we are privileged to serve.
One Team — One Mission — Red Devil Proud!

Great News, EJPS Families!
We are excited to share that breakfast and lunch are once again FREE for all EJPS students for the 2026-2027 school year!
Even though meals are free for all students, we still need every family to complete the Education Benefits Form. The information collected on this form is important because other programs and funding opportunities available to our students and district depend on this information.
Families can complete the Education Benefits Form online through the Meal Magic Family Portal using the link below.

Please take a few minutes to complete the form for your household. Your participation helps ensure EJPS continues to receive important resources and opportunities for our students.
Our GardeNature Program gives students the chance to explore, create, and get their hands dirty while learning in our gardens, hoophouse, and other outdoor spaces. From planting seeds and harvesting vegetables to learning about composting and caring for plants, every experience helps students build confidence, curiosity, and a connection with the world around them.
The mission of our GardeNature Program is to engage students in outdoor spaces of learning and inspiration that foster positive connections with nature for the East Jordan School Community.
We love seeing our students learn, grow, and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
Each month, East Jordan Elementary students learn about a different locally grown, seasonal agricultural product through our Harvest of the Month program!
Students have the opportunity to participate in Classroom Try Days, learn fun facts about healthy foods, and discover where their food comes from. Throughout the month, our Food Service team highlights the featured item in the cafeteria while students explore new flavors and build healthy habits one bite at a time.
We love seeing our students try something new and celebrate Michigan agriculture!
The upcoming immunization clinic is a convenient opportunity for families to get ready before the first day of school. Please see the attached flyer for clinic details.
