Hello Tiger Families!

I put out an email to parents to write a staff appreciation note…and guess how many different notes were submitted? Over 150!

And what is even better than that? Our students wrote over 1,250 total staff appreciation notes to our staff members. These notes will be delivered next week during staff appreciation week. Thank you!

We have a BIG weekend coming up with our spring musical, Anastasia. We have THREE performances in the EHS auditorium: Friday @ 7 PM, Saturday @ 7 PM, and Sunday at 2 PM. Come on out and support our school and students!

Also, parents, please take a moment to check out the Recent Updates section of our newsletter each week. This is where a lot of our information is posted.

Attendance Tips

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

If you plan on leaving early for Spring Break please remember to fill out our google form ahead of time.

If your student is absent for a full day, you have 24-48 hours to call in with the reason for the absence, after that it will be marked unexcused. Per board policy, if a student is absent 10 days excused or not, absences will begin to be marked “unexcused” unless previously noted and approved by school administration or there is a doctor’s note provided to the school.

Extended Absences: Please notify the school at least 2 weeks prior to any extended absences via our Google form. You and your student will also need to sign off on our “Extended Absence Form” located in our front office. This form helps students and parents understand how to communicate with teachers and make up schoolwork after the absence.

If you know your student will be absent, tardy or checking out of school please fill out this Google form.

Please provide the school with a note from the doctor, orthodontist, dentist, therapist, or any appointment each time you go.
