SLE WEEKLY UPDATE February 3, 2023
Be East!
Good Afternoon,
We had a fantastic (yet chilly!) first week of semester two! Our seniors are preparing to finish their final year of high school and we can’t wait to see what the class of 2023 has to bring.
It was wonderful to see many of our families at Curriculum Fair this week. We are excited to welcome the class of 2027 and we hope you enjoyed visiting our building and talking with our teachers. If you were unable to attend Curriculum Fair, please check out this presentation!
This week, our counselors have been meeting will all grade levels to help students select their classes. If your student has questions regarding the course selection process, there is a wealth of information on our website in the counseling and student services link. Students are welcome to reach out to counselors as well.
Congratulations to Ella Agius, Andrea Valenzuela-Lazcano, Bella Wiegand, and Adhvaith Suresh. After auditioning at the regional and state level, the four South Lyon East High School students were selected to sing in the MSVMA State Honors Choir. The final concert took place in Grand Rapids on Saturday, January 21 in the DeVos Performance Hall.
Semester 1 Report Cards will be posted in Skyward on Monday, February 6th. Report Cards can be uploaded or printed through the Skyward Portfolio page.
Have a fabulous weekend!

South Lyon East High School Career Club is hosting the South Lyon Community Schools Career Fair event on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, from 6:00PM-8:00PM at South Lyon EAST High School Cafeteria/Commons. Any parent interested in sharing your career expertise with our high school students and families is welcome to be a career representative at this event. Other local career experts from a wide-spectrum of careers have also been invited. Students especially enjoy learning about what adults in the community do for work. This event allows students to interact with industry experts to expand their knowledge and peak their interest.
The SLCS Career Fair is open to all South Lyon Community Schools 9th-12th grade students and their families and aims to help students learn about different careers to further inform students’ career choices. This event is going to be held in an open-house format in which students can walk up to different tables and ask questions about careers. If you are interested in being a parent volunteer as an industry expert, please complete the RSVP form found at the following SLCS Career Fair RSVP link and reply no later than February 27th. Volunteers will be reviewed and accepted until we reach capacity in each of the career clusters listed on the SLCS Career Fair RSVP form.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to educate our youth!
