Books to Go PICK UP 6/10 and 6/17 at the High School!
Get ready to pick up a free bag of donated books for your child for summer reading!
WE MADE HUNDREDS OF BAGS for the readers in our community!
Books to Go was created by Sam Gibson, a junior at East Hampton High School, as a way for East Hampton children to be able to read books from the community over the summer. All the books were bagged according to age and type of book and each bag contains 5-10 books.
All you need to do is drive by the High school on June 10th or 17th from 12:00-2:00 pm to pick up a bag or two for your child to enjoy reading this summer. Sam will be there passing out the bags right to your car. Books are available for all readers: babies to young adult readers.
*This was a community sponsored event. Books will be available first come first serve. Keep your child READING East Hampton! THANK YOU for your support!
We are NO longer accepting any more donations.

SAT Updates
Since the juniors were unable to take the SAT in school this past spring as planned, the state and CollegeBoard have agreed to allow the Class of 2021 to take the SAT in school on Wednesday, October 14th free of cost. This will replace the option for students to use a 7 digit fee waiver code for a one time SAT. Since this SAT will take place in school in October, it is the expectation that all seniors be in attendance to take the test. You will automatically be registered for the October SAT, and no action is needed on your part.
In addition to this SAT in October, it is the school counselor’s recommendation that students register for at least one additional SAT as a way to give yourself the most opportunities to earn the best score possible. The first available SAT occurs on August 29th. The deadline to register for this test date is July 31st. If students would like to register for this SAT or any other additional SATs, they should do so through their CollegeBoard accounts.
Below is a link to all of CollegeBoard’s test dates:

Attention, seniors! Your EHPS Google accounts will be deleted after graduation. If you want to keep anything currently stored there, Mr. Fielding, our IT director, says the best thing to do is back up your Drive using Google Takeout (https://takeout.google.com/). It is NOT ENOUGH to simply share a doc with your personal account.
Detailed directions here:

Weekly Routines
Another weekly routine is family game night, but sometime you can only play so much Yatzee, Connect Four or Monopoly! Again after a long day of staring at screens and completing assignments some exercise during a game night is well needed. We cut these letters up and put them in a hat everyone gets a turn pulling them out. The one who pulls them out gets to watch the others perform the movements! Have some fun stay positive mentally and physically enjoy the summer!
