Due to the ongoing water main break issue from yesterday, leaving Tappahannock Elementary School, the School Board Office, and the surrounding residential area without water, Essex County Public Schools will be closed today. Lunch will be available for pickup at James Cary Intermediate School at noon today on a first-come first-serve basis. All 12-month employees may telework or use liberal leave today. We will provide an update as soon as water service has been restored.

What a great PD led by Eric Rhodes with CTLG!!! Our science scores about to go through the roof at JCIS!!! Let's go!! I enjoyed being a part of the PD with the team!!💜💛.

ECPS welcomed Governor Abigail Spanberger and the Secretary of Education at JCIS today!! They both took time to greet staff, spend quality time in a Q&A with a group of teachers, and enjoyed time answering questions and talking to students in numerous classrooms! The cheerleaders and SCA officers were highlights of this visit, and it was led by Principal Dr. Dana Hawes and Interim Superintendent Mrs. Pam Bell! Local news media and members of the local sheriff's department and police were inspired to support this effort. What a memorable day for JCIS students and for ECPS!

Interim Superintendent, Mrs. Pam Bell, facilitated and launched the “All In for Essex” collaboration with Essex County Public Schools and the Essex Rotary on Thursday, August 13th. The collaboration involves supporting ECPS students through college/career awareness events, increasing community pride/connection/visibility of ECPS in local businesses, recognizing and incentivizing students/staff, and more!! With all three ECPS principals present, at least one new initiative was launched at each school through the Rotary’s commitment! 🎉

The Essex County School Board will be holding a Special Called meeting on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.. in the Essex County School Board Office Complex.
