Bulldog Blast
Greetings Bulldogs ~
I don't even know what happened to this past week. It went so fast - one blink and it was over. With fewer athletic activities, time seems to move in weird ways!! Speaking of athletic activities, you may have heard a little something about a playoff football game being held here on Friday, November 22nd. We're looking to absolutely PACK the house. We'll have information coming out next week regarding tickets and such but I want you to consider putting this one on your calendar for sure. When you're this deep in the playoffs - every game is a tough matchup. We'll need the home crowd advantage for sure!!
Don't forget that we're on break the week of November 25th. It's a much needed rest before we have the VERY SHORT push to final exams. Let's talk about exams for a second. Many of our freshmen will not have experienced the joy of final exams. Remember, all classes are to give a final assessment that is worth 20% of the final grade. These tests can really impact a grade and need to be taken seriously for sure. I ask that you take some time over the next few weeks and speak with your student about the final exam process. Do they know yet what the final exams for each class will look like? (final project vs. cumulative assessment) They should be getting this information VERY soon. Final exams are the last two days of the semester - December 18th & 19th. (Schedule link below) We do not give final exams early for those students who are already out of town during those days. Your student will need to take their exam when they return the first week in January. See information on that below.
We have the Fall Ball tomorrow night! This is always an exciting one and it's great to see the students dress up and having a great time. As you know, all school rules apply to dances and we have a plethora of adults on hand to make sure that our dance is safe for everyone. If your student will be attending - I encourage you to have a pretty direct conversation with them about your expectations for them on the evening. You'll know you've connected with them when the eyes roll! We'll post a few pictures on Facebook as we expect the place will be PACKED!!
Have a great weekend everyone. We'll see you back here next week at the Most AMAZING High School in the State of Oklahoma - EMHS!!!

Band Program Trailer Replacement
The Edmond's Own Bulldog Band is in desperate need of a new band trailer. The current trailer the program uses has way exceeded its life expectancy and the cost of repair no longer makes financial sense. Please consider a financial gift to our band program to help out our students! We are REALLY close to making this happen!!
