ILEARN testing will begin next week here at EJHS. This is a reminder to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive on time. Remember to bring your charged Chromebook and your charger to school. During ILEARN testing it is important to remember students cannot have other electronic devices with them. All cell phones, AirPods, and smartwatches will need to be housed in your locker during testing.
Parents & guardians, if you are able to readjust appointments the week of April 24th between the times of 7:30-10:30 that will help your child stay on track. Otherwise, we will be pulling students out of class the following week for makeup testing.
Students if you’re not feeling well report to the Health Office. The Health Aide will contact your parent if you need to go home. By-passing the Health Office and contacting your parent yourself will be an unexcused absence. Parents, if your student contacts you, please refer them to the Health Office.
