This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with some important information to share. I hope that you each enjoy your last week of summer break. We can’t wait to see you on Monday, August 26th!
Back To School Forms: Parents, have you filled out your student’s Back to School forms yet? It's simple and quick. It is important that you take time to update these forms each year.
How to locate them:
Log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal
Click “forms”
Complete all the listed form
Student Schedules: Schedules are available for students and parents to view in PowerSchool as of today. Our counselors have been working throughout the summer to correct schedules, fill in holes, etc. If you have a schedule change request, please complete this form. DO NOT email the counselors directly. Having all of the requests in one place will help streamline the process.
Schedule changes are permitted only for the following reasons:
Holes in schedules (no assigned class period)
Juniors/Seniors w/specific graduation requirements
Earned credit in summer school or credit recovery
Erroneously placed in class already passed
Administrative decision
If you are looking to drop an AP class, you must have permission from Mrs. Simpson.
We will have 2 counselors on staff this year. Ms. Cushman is returning and will be working directly with students with last names that begin with M-Z. Dr. Lyons is new to the EA staff, but comes to us from Graham High School with lots of experience. She will be working with students with last names that begin with A-L.
EAHS Open House: Tuesday, August 20th from 5:30-7:30. It is a floating event so drop in when you can. If needed students can pick up a copy of their schedule in the front entrance or they can use PowerSchool to view it and enter campus via any of the large gray doors. There will be students and staff around campus to help guide you to the right locations. We hope to see you there!
Chromebooks: Devices will be available in the media center during open house or on Wednesday afternoon from 1-3. This year, we are offering families the opportunity to purchase optional insurance for their student(s) chromebook. The cost of the optional insurance is $25. This premium is good for one instance of unintentional breakage (lost or intentional damage is not covered) and will help protect you from higher cost. You may elect when to apply your premium. Once used, the family would have the option to replace the optional insurance premium for an additional $25. For more details, including a list of part replacement costs, click here for the Mobile Learning Handbook. You may use this link to purchase the optional insurance.
Athletics: Athletic Passes are now on sale! This pass gets you into all home athletic contests for the upcoming school year! Complete this form to register for your pass. Student Passes are $75, Adult passes are $200, Family Passes $350(up to 4) or 400 (5 or more).
Parking Passes: Junior and Seniors it is time to purchase your parking pass for the 2024-2025 School Year. Please use this link to do so. Students with outstanding fines from previous school years may not be eligible to purchase a pass.
Free and Reduced Lunch Application: Breakfast and Lunch are not universally free for all students. If you would like your student to eat meals at school, you need to either put money on their online account or secure a free/reduced lunch status by completing the required form. Paper forms are available in the front office or you can fill it out online. This form must be completed each year.
