At all schools in our District today, students participated in the “Great Shake Out” Drills being conducted throughout the U.S., and the world. You can visit http://www.shakeout.org/ for more information. Below are some pictures of EHS students and staff during our drill this morning. Nearly 500,000 people are participating in similar drills today in Oregon, and nearly 20 million throughout the U.S.
Parent Teacher Conferences this Wednesday night, 4-8 PM in the EHS Cafeteria. Please park in the North (back) parking lot. If you can’t make it Wednesday night, you can drop in on Thursday morning between 8-noon and visit teachers in their room. Progress reports will be handed out Wednesday night for those that attend. Those that were not picked up will be mailed home Thursday. Go Falcons!
Homecoming week is next week here at EHS. There will be much going on, and plenty of “craziness” throughout the week. Several days have special schedules due to assemblies. The annual “parade” will occur Friday at 4:00 PM through downtown Veneta. The game is Friday night at 7:00, and the homecoming dance is Saturday the 8th from 8:30-11:00. Guest dance passes (for non-EHS students) are due to the office by Wednesday, October 5th at 8:30 in the morning. Tickets for the dance may be purchased at the bookkeepers office for $10 or $8 with your ASB sticker. All school fees must be paid before purchasing a ticket to the dance.
The PSAT is on October 15th at 8:00 am in the cafeteria, doors open at 7:30 am. The cost for the PSAT is free for Sophomores and $10 for Juniors. All students interested in taking the PSAT must sign up with the bookkeeper. If you have any questions, see Ms. Brittany in the Counseling Center.

CONSTRUCTION WILL CAUSE SOME CHANGES TO THE START OF THE YEAR!
The construction taking place at EHS is going well, and on track to be completed ahead of the scheduled completion date of mid-December. However, it will still impact us for the first couple months of the school year. Our current plan is described below. This MAY get adjusted as the school year draws closer. We will attempt to inform parents and students through the district website, use of the phone dialer, as well as the Principal Carpenter Facebook page.
The front entrance (the steps) to the school will be blocked off, and access or exit will not be permitted in this area.
• Students that drive: Students that drive will park in the normal student parking lot, however they will access the school by entering through the main football field gate and walking around the backside (East side) of the gym.
• Office access: Parents that need to access the front office will park in the office staff parking area, which is the South West lot immediately West of the front office. Access to the front office will be from the door that will be labeled with a sign, and identified with 2 orange cones.
• Bus Drop-off and Pick-up: This will be taking place in the back (North) parking lot. All students that ride the bus will be dropped off and picked up in the back lot.
• Parent pick up of students: This will occur as it has before, the only difference being students will be exiting the building and entering the parking area from the main football field entrance.
We thank you for your patience during this difficult transition. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Due to construction, access to the main office is limited. In general, we will be open 8-4 and the best place to park is in the small lot immediately West of the front office area. There is an Orange cone with an “EHS OFFICE” sign that will direct you to the proper door if you need information or to drop off any paperwork with the bookkeeper. Feel free to call if you have questions, the EHS Secretary returns to work on Monday, August 15th. Before then you can reach the bookkeeper at extension 278, the AD at extension 274, or Mr. Carpenter at extension 201. Go Falcons
Athletic Registration, this Thursday Night from 5:30-7:30, has been moved to the Cafeteria. Please park in the North Lot.
For those that need sports physicals, and would prefer a low-cost/local option, Dr. Gofourth will be conducting them at FRMS from 10:00-4:00 on Monday, August 8th for $20.00.
