Welcome, everyone! Today is a Blocks 1-4 day with all students in-person. Thursday will be a Blocks 5-8 day with all students in-person.
This week is National School Social Worker Week and we are honoring Mrs. Laughlin and Mr. Martin! The week celebrates school social workers across the country. It highlights their vital role in helping students meet academic, social, and emotional challenges. School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a degree in social work. They provide services related to a person’s social, emotional and life adjustment to school and society. School Social Workers are the link between the home, school, and community providing direct and indirect services to students, families and school personnel.
Be sure to preorder your EJHS 2021 yearbook before Friday to get the $20 price! Order at this online link. After March 5th, a limited supply MIGHT be available for an additional price. All copies will be delivered to students during the last week of school.
