Heights Highlights
November 2023
Happy Friday!
Dear Families,
As we begin November and our second quarter of learning, we have so many great things taking place at EHMS! From engaging learning projects to the start of winter sports to a choir concert to our newly formed PTO...there are so many ways to get involved. Please be sure to check out the Important Dates for November so that you and your Pioneer don't miss out. Our November PTO meeting will take place next week in our conference room. These are a great way for parents and caregivers to help support our school. Also in this newsletter is a PBIS family survey. We would love your feedback so we can continue to best support your Pioneer's experience at school. As always, please reach out to our main office with any questions. Have a great November!
Sincerely,
Jake Keefe and Dana Cerrito

Cell Phones and Attire
Hoodies, and similar tops or jackets with hoods, are "fan favorites" when it comes to school attire. We like them, too, but not when they are worn up and over the head during the school day.
The district's Student Code of Conduct provides direction on headgear, stating that it may not be worn over a person's head or scalp (excluding headgear that's worn for religious or medical reasons.) Hoods can make it difficult to identify an individual in an emergency, and they can also be a distraction in class. Please remind students that hoods may not be worn up during the school day.
The Student Code of Conduct also offers guidance on attire. Clothing must be school appropriate and may not present a health or safety hazard or disrupt the educational environment. Pants and tops must fit properly and be in good repair; crop tops are not permitted.
Additionally, footwear must be school appropriate--slippers and slipper socks are not permitted. Blankets also may not be worn in school.
Students may bring their cell phones to school but they must be turned off and put away during the day unless they are used as a part of a teacher-directed lesson in class. Same rules apply to Bluetooth headphones--they may not be worn during the school day.
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please contact the main office and our staff will convey a message or assist you in reaching your student.
