Good afternoon Eagle Families,
This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates. I hope that you have had an enjoyable weekend. It was great celebrating our fall senior athletes and band members this past week!
Students, please take a moment to make sure you are scheduled for an EAgle time on Monday.
Makeup underclassmen and senior pictures will take place in the auditorium on Thursday, October 26th. You can find the schedule here. Seniors there is no sitting fee and you will only be taking your formal picture. Strawbridge will supply the tux/drape for your picture. You need to wear a shirt that will not be visible underneath. Tux: white t-shirt, Drape: camisole or tank top with straps that can be moved off the shoulder. This is the last time to have your picture taken for the yearbook.
10th graders thank you for a great PreACT day. We appreciate your on time arrival and your hard work while testing.
Yearbooks are now on sale for their lowest price. You can purchase one here.
Evening Academy has started, but it is not too late for you to join us! It is held every Tuesday through Thursday from 4:15-6:30. This is a great opportunity for you to catch up on missing work, get tutoring in a core subject or recover credits from previous courses online. You must provide your own transportation.

This is the last week of the first quarter. Please take a minute to check your child’s grades online. The first quarter grading period will count 40% of their final grade in the course. If you have any questions then please contact your child’s teacher. Report cards will be delivered by email via a special link on Friday, November 3rd. Please make sure that you have updated your information in PowerSchool so you can receive the link.
Please make sure that you are adhering to our cell phone policy. Phones are allowed during lunch, class changes, and before/afterschool. Students should not be on their phones during class except with explicit teacher permission. If you are on your phone when you should not be and are asked to give it to your teacher and you fail to do so, it will result in a 2 day suspension.
In order to stay up to date about your child’s grades and attendance, it is very important that you download the Powerschool Parent Portal App. HERE is all the information you need to download the app and set up its features. Please let us know if we can help you.
Breakfast and lunch are not universally free for all students. If you would like your child to eat meals at school, you will either need to put money on their online account or you will need to secure a free/reduced lunch status by filling out the required form.
