SLE Weekly Update February 11, 2022
Good afternoon East families,
We had another fantastic (yet chilly!) week here at East. It was wonderful to see many of our families at Curriculum Fair this week. We are excited to welcome the class of 2026 and we hope you enjoyed visiting our building and talking with our teachers. 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.
Thank you to all who supported our Oxford Strong event. We raised $1012 dollars to contribute to the Oxford Strong initiative.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Be East!
