A Message From Mr. Mitchell - EHS Interim Principal

Good Afternoon EHS Students and Families,

This past Tuesday evening, EHS hosted a parent informational night for incoming freshman. If you are a parent of a current 8th grader and missed the event, or would like to review the slides presented, please CLICK HERE.

It has been a productive week at EHS as students finished their midterm exams today and are preparing for the start of the second semester next week. Obviously, we have quite the storm headed our way that could potentially impact next week. If we are out of school on Monday, our midterm makeup day will move to Tuesday. Students making up exams will be dismissed at 11:05.

If we do happen to be out of school on Monday, I challenge our students to get outside (safely), enjoy the snow, and make the most of the day! Build a snowman, shovel the walkway, go sledding, take a winter walk, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a good book and a warm drink. Send me a picture of how you’re spending your snow day, and I’ll share a few favorites in our next newsletter.

Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the snow! (and go Patriots!)
Jon Mitchell
EHS Interim Principal
