EASTERN @ 14
News of Note for the Class of 2014 -- From Mrs. Weber
What is this?
We have only one direction to move this year - and that is toward graduation! This newsletter will be published on/around the 14th of each month. I am just trying to keep the lines of communication open. Of course you have many options in which to get your news...EDMODO, TWITTER, the Eastern Weekly Email. Of course, if you have questions, I would welcome them! You can get in touch with me through email or just stop by! You are always welcome!
Are you READY?
I will be back at Eastern on July 24th. We are still working out of our temporary offices located at ENTRANCE #4. I have great HOPE that our new offices will be ready in the next few weeks! Keep your fingers crossed!
Recs?
If you need a letter of recommendation, remember you need to provide Mrs. Weber with a letter BEFORE she can write your letter! Please see our EDMODO site for more information on the questions to consider as you write your letter.
The Search is ON!
Now is the time to start contacting the colleges you are most interested in attending. Check out their admissions timelines! If you schedule a visit, and you submit your application at that time, you can often time waive the application fee!
School Starts on Tuesday, August 20th
Practice!
If you didn't meet your benchmarks on the ACT (English 18, Math 19, and Reading 20), use this time this summer to brush up on your skills! Of course, there is GALE - but there is also a great resource in the REAL ACT PREP GUIDE. You can find this book at Barns & Noble or your favorite bookstore. It won't help you if you don't use it!
NEW ACCESS CODE!
The CLASS OF 2014 has a new access code for EDMODO -- it is "pps2ps" -- Be sure that you don't miss any information!
If you are looking for the recommendation letter writing prompts - the handout is in the LIBRARY section of the page along with other important handouts.
Summer Reading!
Don't forget about your summer reading!
THE OTHER WES MOORE by Westley Moore is what everyone should be reading this summer.
If you are in the AP Comp class (Peak) you will need to read this book in addition to THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE by Strunk & White. If you are in the AP Literature class (Allen/Harper) you will need to read MEDEA by Euripides in addition to THE OTHER WES MOORE.
