STUDENT NEWS & INFORMATION:
Yearbooks are $75 online only at www.yearbookforever.com until April 30. Buy now!
East High is collecting Hy-Vee receipts in the main office for Hy-Vee Cash 4 Students. Please drop off your receipts dated from August 1st to present. Hy-Vee will donate a percentage back to East High for every dollar spent.
The East High Thrift Shop is located downstairs in the AEC. There is clothing available if needed for any occasion. Did you forget your gym clothes? We can help! Can’t find a coat? We can help! Visit us through the big double doors located downstairs and remember all of the items are FREE! Mrs. Elder is glad to help.
Students that are in need of Food 4 Thought bags can head down to Office 107 at the end of the day on the last school day of the week. These bags are for home use, if opened at school students will no longer be allowed to receive one.
Students, as you may have noticed there are signs on the doors reminding you to not let anyone in the school. Due to recent events we would really like for visitors and students to ring the doorbell to get in the building. If we all follow this protocol we can monitor who is coming into our school at all times. Also, please do not remove these signs from the doors.
VAPES ARE ILLEGAL regardless of what is in them. Getting caught in possession with one is a violation of the student code and will result in school consequences, an athletic code violation (making you ineligible for athletics and activities), and a $50 ticket plus a mandatory court appearance from the police. YOUR AGE DOES NOT MATTER, it is a violation for all students. SOCIAL MEDIA PICTURES OF YOU VAPING CAN LEAD TO THESE SAME CONSEQUENCES.
This includes “Juuling”, Juul pods are not permitted on school grounds and the consequences are the same as any other tobacco products.
MINOR SCHOOL PERMIT: Students and Parents of students who are driving on a minor school permit should read over the school driving permit rules attachment. A quick few bullet points are:
- Students must take the most direct route from their home to their school and vice versa.
- Students can only travel to and from their school between the hours of 5:00 AM and 10:00 PM; this rule supersedes the curfew law.
- Students can ONLY travel to an activity they are involved in as long as the school is a bordering school to the Sioux City Community School District and not more than 25 miles away.
- Students cannot drive to an activity they are not participating in even if it is at their school of enrollment.
- Once the student’s activity is over, the student must go home (for example, a JV player cannot stay to attend a Varsity game).
- Students can have one minor household member in their vehicle at a time as long as they are traveling to the same school.
- Students can stop for fuel at the closest station to their route home or to school
If you have any questions about these rules, please call the Iowa DOT at (515) 244-8725.
Western Iowa Tech Community College offers a variety of Teen Driver’s Education classes, to register for one of their classes please call WITCC at (712) 274-6418. The class dates are either March 2nd – April 20th, June 1st – June 24th, or July 6th – July 29th.*
SILVER CORD OPPORTUNITIES:
There is a terrific resource for students who are working on earning their Silver Cord or meeting community service requirements. This is an online volunteer center for Siouxland, there are now more than 100 nonprofit organizations on VolunteerSiouxland.org, with more than 50 active needs for volunteers on any given day. It is absolutely the EASIEST way for students to find and sign up for volunteer opportunities. It’s also the easiest way to track their volunteer hours – confirmed by the organization. We’ve even added a field to volunteer profiles so they can identify which school they attend, allowing us to provide reports to the schools. And, it’s completely free for the organizations and the volunteers! Finding volunteer opportunities has NEVER been easier!*
Please see Ms. Benson in the Main Office for Silver Cord (http://www.siouxcityschools.org/east-high-school/general-academic-information-2/) opportunities.
