Remote Material Return Deadline
AP Exam Payment Form
This is a reminder that if your student wants to take an AP exam this coming May, they must hand in the completed payment form (found online here or in the counseling lobby) and payment (checks made out to EHS AP exams) before January 31st. If they fail to do so, they will incur late fees, which are non refundable according to the collegeboard. If you pay for an AP exam before Jan 31st and decide not to take it at a later date, there will be a full refund. No late fees are refundable.
All payments and payment forms are to be mailed in to EHS or handed into Ms. Kennison in the school counseling office, before that deadline. If you qualify for free and reduced lunch, please mark the appropriate box on the payment form.
If you have any questions, please email hkennison@ewsd.org. For more information about AP exams and CLEP exams, please visit here.
Zoom Chats
What: A youth series zoom chat! Youth of all ages have a lot of information coming at them from many different directions. When we see unexpected things happening in our world, we all experience big feelings. We hope to create a sense of community for youth in which we can share these experiences and begin to create a space for healing. We will hold and honor a diversity of perspectives in this conversation. We will utilize a restorative circle process.
Who: This group is for 4th grade-12th grade students

CTE Admission Process

2) Check out the programs offered to juniors, seniors as well as adults. Remember Pre-Tech programs are for Sophomores only.
3) Every Virtual Program Visit you will see a red button that says "Yes, I'd like to learn more." This will take you to a form where you will provide us your contact information. Please fill out this form (just once, no matter how many programs you view).
4) If you have any questions you can email cteadmissions@ewsd.org or click on the program instructor's name and email them directly with any specific program questions.
5) You will need to submit an application to CTE. On our website you will see our applications (High School students as well as Adult applicants). Print off the application and complete it. You will need to see or email your school counselor for assistance with the application process. Your school counselor will complete the application by providing CTE your transcripts, attendance and behavior records, along with your CTE application.
6) PRIORITY Deadline for CTE applications is March 5, 2021. If you miss this date, you will still be able to apply, however may end up on a waitlist for the program you have applied to.
7) After a review of your application, you will be invited to an Admission meeting with the program teacher. This is part of the application process and you must attend. This will provide you another opportunity to ask questions about the program you have applied to.
8) Students will be notified of acceptance in early April 2021.
We look forward to answering any questions you may have and seeing some of you next year!
