It has been brought to our attention that many students have been forgetting to bring a charged Chromebook and/or charger to school. Due to the high demand and lack of supply, we will no longer be able to provide students with a loaner charger during school hours. If your charger is damaged or missing, please let Miss Edgeman in the Media Center know, and she will work with the Tech Department to provide you with a replacement charger. Chargers are not covered by the protection plan. Please contact the EJHS office if you have any questions.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Pumpkinfest last weekend. We had over 600 people attend! we would love to continue to improve each year, so if you have time please fill out our survey with your feedback. Pumpkinfest Survey Link
