    A Message from the Principal

    Welcome to East Petersburg Elementary School! We are thrilled to build a positive school environment that welcomes our learners and challenges everyone to be their best selves for our school and the greater community.

    East Petersburg Elementary School is a tight knit community that works to build relationships while building academic skills, knowing that growth occurs when students are safe, engaged, and excited about learning. Our staff are committed to being lifelong learners themselves, modeling the same hopes that we have for our learners for their growth. Outside of our school walls, we are part of a thriving and supportive community that truly models the old saying, “it takes a village to raise a child.” Truly, this is one incredible village.

    It is our goal to keep you informed of what’s going on in school so that you can be part of the whole educational experience! We have a few systems set up to support family connection. Each student will receive a red folder to use throughout the year that will periodically have updates and information for upcoming events. You can also subscribe to the EPES E-News on our school page. We also have a committed PTO that works diligently to support the school. We would LOVE to have you join us! You can find more information on our PTO webpage.

    At East Petersburg Elementary School, our Big 3 Expectations are for students to Be Ready, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible! These are expectations of all members of our EPES community because everyone is an important piece of our puzzle! With support in these areas of life, we believe that our learners will be prepared for both their time with us and for success in all of their pathways beyond EPES.

    I am extremely honored and humbled to be stepping into my role as Principal at EPES in the 2025-2026 school year and cannot wait to see what this year brings for us. I have loved attending school for my entire life, and I am hopeful that we will be able to grow a love of learning in your child as well. If I can ever do anything to support your family’s journey, please do not hesitate to reach out! I look forward to serving our community and contributing to the amazing legacy that is East Petersburg!

     
    Mrs. Amanda Calhoun
    East Petersburg Elementary School Principal (As of July 1, 2025)
