Welcome, everyone! Today is a Blocks 1-4 day with all students in-person. Monday 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.
In preparation for iLearn testing coming up April 19-30, we will be conducting iReady testing next week. On Monday, March 8th, students will be participating in the ELA portion of iReady during related arts and rotational classes. On Tuesday, March 9th, students will take the math portion of the test. Students must have a charged Chromebook, earbuds, and a pencil for testing. Please bring a book for reading should you finish your test early.
Be sure to preorder your EJHS 2021 yearbook by today to get the $20 price! Order at this online link. After today, a limited supply MIGHT be available for an additional price. All copies will be delivered to students during the last week of school.
8th graders and parents: Please submit two .jpeg photos for use in the end-of-the-year slideshow. One image should be a current school-related photo, but not the school portrait. The other should be from when they were young. Please upload these .jpegs to https://images.jostens.com/415469191 by the Friday after Spring Break, March 26th.
8th-Grade Student Council will meet today from 2:30-3:30 in Room 121.
Students who have Chromebook issues should email RBB tech support at itsupport@rbbschools.net.
