AEHS Weekly Newsletter

Good evening, Titan Community,

We have a busy week at Einstein High School. Our annual DCC Open House is on Monday evening and we have PSAT testing day on Wednesday. Please refer to the Testing Information section of the Newsletter to see our testing schedule.

Make-up picture day is on Monday, October 14 for students who were absent during our earlier picture days. Students who do not have a student ID or have lost their ID should also get their picture taken so a new ID can be issued at no charge. Pictures will be taken in the Little Theatre. After Monday, ID replacements will cost five dollars.

Also, information about our Homecoming is available below. Please utilize purchasing tickets through School Cach Online if you can.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the school or utilize the AskAlbert link. I hope everyone has had a restful weekend.

Best,

Justin Krop

Principal Intern.
