East Hills Connections
School Year Edition: Issue 17: January 15, 2021
Together. Connected. Strong.
Hello Families,
We had a wonderful week back here at school. The students lit up the hallways!
The end of the second quarter is January 29th, so please encourage your child to hand in any missed assignments before then. Many students have risen to the challenge of this new learning format and we applaud them for their efforts. Keep up the good work!
If your child is not quite there yet, don't worry. We want to support any student that is having difficulty and believe in each and every one of them. Encourage your child to go to the extra Zooms available if they need help and please reach out to any teacher with your questions. That connection is what we are striving for this year!
Together and connected, we will achieve great things, tackle obstacles, and celebrate achieving our goals!
Together. Connected. Strong.
Be well,
Dave Horvath, Regina Braun, and Pat Tannous
