Spirit Week is happening this year, and we’re aiming for the two weeks before Thanksgiving. It’s a little later than normal due to COVID. Student Government has been working hard to plan Spirit Week in a way that all students can be included and that each day connects to meaningful activities that can be done in advisory. Thank you for your patience, and thank you to the students, Laura Williams and the ADL advisory team for ensuring this tradition continues!

This is a reminder that the last day of Quarter 1 is Tuesday, November 10.

The first day of Quarter 2 is Wednesday, November 11.

We have an updated Wednesday schedule to ensure students are getting appropriate time in between Zoom classes to ask questions, or take a quick break. The new Wednesday schedule (link) will begin on November 18th.

The 2021 EHS Yearbook needs your help!

This year is tougher than ever for building the yearbook. Our yearbook staff wants to make sure this year is documented; remembering the good times we've had and not focus on all the negatives. We are asking for your help!

If you have pictures of your student that you think are yearbook worthy, please send them to us to help us fill this amazing book! Pictures of fun at home, fun over the summer, shots from sports games, etc. We are asking for EHS students only in the pictures please. Click on the link below to submit photos in a Google Form. You can respond to this survey more than once if you have multiple pictures you would like to submit. We will do our best to use everything, but please understand that not every picture may end up in the book. You can email yearbook@ewsd.org with any questions.
