Advisory Video
Dear students, students have worked with the advisory team to plan a video with discussion questions for advisory on May 10th and 13th. Please show support for our student leaders and Social Justice Union doing this work by participating in the discussion. We will have AST on these days.
Also, student leaders have booked Xusana Davis, the State of Vermont's Executive Director of Racial Equity, for a special presentation that will take place in advisories on May 24th and May 27th. There will be discussion questions for students during AST. This means we will not have AST on May 24th and May 27th.
Please support our student leaders and Social Justice Union by making sure all electronics are put away and you give the presentation and discussion your full attention. Thank you for your participation!
Returning 4-Days
We are excited for the return of those students who indicated interest in returning 4-days a week! On May 10th students who completed the interest survey will begin with four days a week of in-person days at EHS. Wednesdays will continue to be remote days. If you did not complete the survey, please contact your school counselor and let them know you are interested in returning to four days a week and they will follow up with you after May 10 to set up your first day back as a four day a week student. Students will experience repeated content on the additional days 3 and 4, however for many students this repetition will be helpful and many students are motivated to return to the school building for the final five weeks of school- and we are excited to have them! If you are considering returning four days a week but would like to speak with someone about that, please contact your school counselor to set up a time to talk.
AP Exams
AP exams will run daily from May 3-May 17 (except Thurs 5/13) at 8 am and 12 pm. Each exam will be in the Rink, except French and Spanish, which will be in the library computer lab. Accommodated exams will be located in the Library conference room.
Financial Literacy Opportunities
Upcoming College Visits
We have four upcoming opportunities for this month so far:
May 12: Community College of Vermont, 1pm
May 13: Bennington College, 10am
May 18: Saint John Fisher College (NY), 10am
May 19: U.S. Army information meeting, 12:30pm
If you're not quite ready to think about colleges or other post-secondary opportunities you could still benefit by making a connection with an admissions representative. Consider it an opportunity to see what kinds of questions they ask and what kinds of information you will need to hone an "elevator speech" you can use to let the representative know how great you are!
