Academics
The scheduled end of 1st Semester date will NOT be changing as a result of our snow days in December. First Semester final exams are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, January 22nd and 23rd. Periods 1, 3, 5 and 7 on Wednesday, and period 2 ,4, and 6 on Thursday.
Progress reports that were scheduled to be mailed home today, will instead be entered by teachers starting tomorrow and ending at 8:00 AM on Thursday morning. The progress reports will go to the post office on Thursday afternoon. This is a “grade check” for all winters sport athletes.
The EHS choir concert scheduled for last week has been rescheduled for this Wednesday, Decmeber 18th at 7:00 PM in the EHS Theater.
With all the no-school days, we have lots of information to get out here at EHS. Please see below:
1. “Like” the “Principal Carpenter” facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/?sk=welcome#!/pages/Principal-Carpenter/460293930736145 to get updated information regarding EHS. This has been the primary way (outside of automated phone calls parents get) that I have been communicating immediate school closure information.
2. Tonight (Friday, December 13th) we are having home BBX games for both boys and Girls. At FRMS we have JV Girls at 5:15 and JV Boys at 7:00. In the EHS gym we have Varsity Boys at 5:30 ande Varsity Girls at 7:00.
3. FOOD DRIVE: Unfortunately, the last 6 days of school have decimated our Holiday food drive. We will not be attempting to “make-it-up,” so the Food Drive is over for this year. Next week when we return to school our focus will be on the Holiday “Adopt-A-Family” that students have been working on. Thanks to all those that are participating.
4. No decisions have been made yet on “make-up” days or any changes to the calendar as a result of school being closed this past week. As soon as any decisions are made in that regard, the information will be put out.
5. Progress report grades were to be uploaded by teachers today, and mailed home on Monday the 16th. With the loss of the last week, that will change. Once we get the new date I will let parents know.
Teachers will be updating and posting the final progress report of the first semester towards the end of next week. Progress reports will be printed off and mailed home on Monday, December 16th. This is the final progress report prior to the end of the semester on January 23rd. Final exams at EHS are scheduled for January 22nd and 23rd.
CALENDAR: Just a reminder that we have no school November 27th-29th (Wed-Fri) for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
ATHLETICS: Monday the 18th is the start of practices for Winter sports. Winter sports are Basketball and Wrestling (both boys and girls). Wrestling practice is right after school, and boys and girls basketball alternate weeks between early and late. The first week the girls go until 6:00 PM, and the boys start at 6:00 PM. Students that are interestsed must have all paperwork completed and fees into the bookkeeper by Friday the 15th in order to participate on Monday. If you have questions regearding what you need, please contact Mrs. Boytz at 541-935-8200 ext 278.
ACADEMICS: The next grade check is on December 18th. The following week all families will be mailed a copy of their students progress report. This will be the final progress report prior to final 1st Semester grades. The 1st semester ends on January 23rd.
PROGRESS REPORTS: A reminder that there is no school Friday as teachers will be updating students grades for their 9 week progress reports. Those will get mailed home next week.
PLAYOFF FOOTBALL: The Falcons are home Friday, November 1st, in the first round of the state playoffs. Kick-off is at 7:00 PM vs. the Mazama Vikings.
Happy Monday.
On the academic front we are approaching the end of the 9 week grading period. EHS is on a semester system so this marks the 1/2 way point of the 1st semester. Teachers will be working on grades this Friday, and early next week a “progress report” will be mailed home to all parents. For all High School students, this time period from now until December, is a critical one academically. The year has gotten off to a good start, we made it through the craziness of Homecoming Week and by now students should have developed some routines around what it takes to be successful in the classroom. The more support parents can give to their student at home, the more likely they will be successful. If you are looking for ways to assist and support your student please feel free to contact their teachers anytime with questions.
On the atheltic front we have a busy week:
Today, 10/28 the EHS Varsity Volleyball team hosts LaSalle High School in EHS gym at 7:00 PM.
10/29: Varsity Boys Soccer plays at Junction City in a league playoff game at 3:30 PM
10/31: Powder Puff Football on the EHS Football field at 7:30 PM. This annual event has the Senior girls playing the Junior girls to help raise money for the Grad Night Committee. The girls have been practicing early in the morning for the past 3 weeks and they are excitted to play on Halloween night. This event should be alot of fun for everyone involved so come on out and join in. There is a cost for admission, once I learn the details I will post them. Thanks to everyone involved for making this a successful fundraiser for Grad-Night.
11/1: Varisty Football hosts Mazama High School at 7:00 PM in the first round of the State Playoffs.
