Welcome Back for the 2026-2027 School Year

Hello, Erlanger/Elsmere Schools Families!

My name is Matt Engel, and after 27 years working in various roles in this district, I am proud to begin my first year as your Superintendent. We are so excited to welcome our students back for the first day of school on Tuesday, August 25th!

A few reminders:

• School doors will open at 7:30 AM for breakfast

• Instruction begins each day at 8:00 AM

• All of our schools dismiss at 3:00 PM

The first days are always a bit hectic as everyone gets back into the routine of drop-offs and pick-ups, and we all realize there will be increased traffic around town and near our schools. I urge you to be patient, set that alarm clock a little earlier, and use caution around our school lots so we can all keep everyone safe.

Our district adopted a different calendar this year to provide our construction partners a couple of extra weeks to make progress on the large renovation project at Lloyd Memorial High School. This variable calendar is why we have started school so much later than we normally do. Those families with children attending Lloyd Memorial and Tichenor Middle will certainly see the massive changes on that campus, but in truth, all of our schools have gone through a multitude of construction upgrades over the summer. Our staff has been back in our schools full-time since August 13th, and they look forward to welcoming your children back next week.

As I have told all of our staff since I assumed this new role, I have high expectations of them, as I do of myself and our students. It is our shared responsibility–schools and families–to show up each day for our kids; to work hard each day; and to commit to the values of this district which focus on building communities of empowerment, growth and respect. Together, we can change and improve outcomes for all of our children.

Here’s to a fantastic school year…I cannot wait to see all of the great things our students are about to do!

Respectfully,

Matthew D. Engel
Superintendent
Erlanger/Elsmere Independent Schools
