Our district, established in 2017, serves approximately 4,500 preschool through 12th grade students across three communities: Essex Town, Essex Junction and Westford.

Parents, staff members, students, and the entire community work together to provide quality programs to help every child become successful.

See what we're all about by watching the "This is EWSD" video (link opens a new window to YouTube) below.

Residents new to the district will be assigned a school based on their address. If you need more information on the schools in your community, please contact (802) 857-2000, and Gabbie Wray can assist you. Please have your street address ready.
