AEHS Weekly Newsletter

Good evening, Einstein Community,

I want to take a moment to recognize the fantastic efforts our students have made this past week with having their Student IDs. Their commitment to school safety is evident, and it is great to see how each student contributes to a culture of safety. This week, we will continue our focus on keeping IDs visible throughout the day, not just when entering the building. I am confident our students will keep up the great work.

Interim grades were entered last Friday and are available through ParentVue. I encourage families to check in and stay updated on student progress.

As we approach Winter Break, I wanted to let you know that our next newsletter will be sent on January 1. It will include important updates for January as we welcome everyone back to school on January 2.

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday season. I hope you all enjoy some quality time with family and friends. Personally, I’m looking forward to spending time with my two daughters and wife. I plan to return from break refreshed and ready to continue our work for your students.

Let’s make this final week of school before Winter Break a great one. I am excited for what is ahead and looking forward to seeing everyone in the new year!

Justin Krop

Principal Intern.
