East High Street Family Flyer
Week of February 21st and February 28th
From the Principal's Desk...
Good Afternoon, East High Families!
Thank you for the warm welcome last week as I joined the team at East High Elementary.
I wanted to introduce and share a little about myself.
My name is Ms. Moffett. I am coming to you from Penn State Harrisburg, where I have been an adjunct professor helping the next generation of teachers prepare for their future jobs. Prior to that, I was an elementary teacher in the Palmyra School District where I taught 1st and 5th grades.
At home, I have three little loves of my own. We like to go on adventures together, play games, read books, do arts and crafts, and spend a lot of time outdoors. I enjoy running and playing sports, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
I look forward to meeting each of you during the next few months!
Below are updates for the next two weeks at East High Street Elementary.
Thank you!
Megan Moffett, East High Street Principal

Parent/Guardian Technology Center
EASD students use electronic devices to access online resources for classroom instruction. Students in grades K-2 use iPads and Chromebooks while students in grades 3-12 use Chromebooks. Upon registering in the district, student technology accounts are created automatically so they are able to log in to district devices and access online instructional resources. Please read the information in the Technology Center to learn more about the student devices, technology accounts and troubleshooting measures.
Parents are encouraged to create their own technology accounts in our school systems to access their student's demographic information, digital report cards, and daily classroom instruction and grades.
