Hello Cougar Families,
I hope you’ve had a nice weekend. I would like to compliment both our students and families for an excellent first week of school. With only a couple of exceptions, the business of getting a school year off the ground smoothly has gone very well. The student body is exhibiting a very positive attitude and already demonstrating high standards of conduct in the hallways and amongst each other. Our stated goal of positive student culture and climate seems to have found a receptive audience in our student body and faculty. Thank you to our families for your continued support of our mission of excellence in education. One more piece of positive news, which is a first in history and nothing short of monumental for our school community: all students who successfully applied for a parking pass have been granted one!
See below for some important announcements and information.
Brandon Brekke and EHS School Leadership
Back to School Night
Please mark your calendars for this Tuesday, 8/28 for Back to School Night, beginning at 6PM in the gymnasium. A 9th Grade parent-specific meeting will be held beforehand in the Auditorium, beginning at 5:30pm. On the agenda for the evening is a welcome and introduction from school leadership, an introduction of the Evergreen Mental Health initiative featuring a special word from former educator and state legislator Mike Johnston, and then an opportunity to walk through your child’s schedule and meet their teachers. We are looking forward to an informative and inspirational evening.
