Jr. High "Mo News" Editors

I can't believe the 4th Quarter is already here!  We've had a fantastic year so far, with many new opportunities at EJHS.

Here are a few of our upcoming important dates to keep in mind...

1.  Our EJHS PTO had Lifetouch pictures here for Spring photos.  Twenty percent of the proceeds come back to our PTO to be distributed for classroom needs.  All photos, whether you are ordering pictures or not, need to be returned to the office before April 18th.  Lifetouch will be picking up any unpurchased photos.

2.  School physicals are being conducted the week of April 15th.  Part 1 for all Jr. High girls will be on Tuesday, April 16th during school, boys will be on Wednesday, April 17th.  Part 2 for all students will be held the evening of May 1st, beginning with Orchestra students at 5pm, followed by Seniors, Juniors, etc.  Next year's 8th graders will be last at 6:15pm.  Please call the Jr. High office if you have any questions.

3.  Track is in full swing.  Come watch our Jr. High runners at our home meet on Tuesday, May 21st.

4.  We will be bringing our current 6th graders over to the Jr. High on a date to be determined in late May for their tour of their new home.  They will be bussed over with their teachers and I will spend some time talking to them about the expectations of them as "Jr. High" students.  Parents will be invited to attend an "Open House" in May as well to answer any questions they may have.

5.  The 8th grade will hold its final band concert of the year on Wednesday, May 29th, followed by the 7th Grade on Thursday, May 30th.  Both concerts will be held in the EHS Auditorium at 7p.m.

6.  We are planning end of the year picnics for our Jr. High students at Ludington Park to wrap up their school year.  The 7th grade is scheduled for May 30th and the 8th grade for May 31st.  Food, games and prizes will be provided.  Much more information to follow from the Jr. High teachers!

7.  The final 3 days of the school year (June 4th, 5th, and 6th) will be exam days with an early release each day at 11:55.  Jr. High students will be served lunch prior to leaving each of the three days.

8.  Please encourage your child to watch their attendance points in each of their classes.  Remember, the Attendance Policy is in effect.  Any student exceeding 9 points in any class will receive a failing grade for quarter 4 due to lack of attendance.

How fast the school year speeds by!
