MISSING/WANTED: Zapp

Zapp, the EVHS Mascot, was last seen in public during The FLASH credits on March 9, 2017 (4:32 mark on YouTube). Official history of Zapp and origin story. The original Zapp costume is in bad shape and needs to be replaced. Eastview’s Student Council will be collecting loose change to fund a new ZAPP mascot costume. The cost to replace ZAPP is about $6,000. Bring loose change to Mr. Kelly in C232 or drop in buckets during morning collection at the Student Doors before Period 1. EVERY PENNY COUNTS! See Mr. Kelly (john.kelly@district196.org) in C232 with questions. Go Eastview Lightning!

Students can serve detentions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2:40-4:00pm in C134. Morning Detention from 6:55-7:35am in Student Services is another option Monday-Friday. Students earn (2) detention credits for serving in the afternoon and (1) detention credit for serving in the morning.

Detentions earned for the first (5) tardies in a class and then every three tardies after that need to be served within three weeks of notice or additional consequences and restricted opportunities may result. Detention is a quiet study hall where students are expected to work independently. Thank-you for your support in teaching Responsibility and Accountability.

Students can benefit from an opportunity for academic support every Wednesday afternoon from 2:40pm – 4:15pm in the flex room located in the learning commons. Students are supported to complete their schoolwork learning in a supervised setting. In addition students can also utilize the WIN program to make up tests they may have missed. Students can get this approved through their teacher ahead of time and the test will be ready for them to take during WIN. Faculty and staff are available along with upper-class peer tutors (especially skilled in Mathematics). Students will identify their priorities (“What I Need” or “What’s Important Now”), create a plan for the most efficient use of their time, celebrate their accomplishments, and leave with a plan for continued success. Students do not need to sign up in advance for WIN Time. We do ask that students plan to be there for the start at 2:40pm so they can benefit from the full support. We will keep a log of students and their engagement (arrival/departure time and their focus/work while they are there). For students needing transportation home, activity buses will be available departing at 4:45pm.

The Flash is Eastview's weekly student news production and the 4Cast is Eastview's bi-weekly student announcements newscast.
