Continuous (as in ongoing) Improvement (as in refinement)

At East Hill, continuous improvement is our goal. To that end, our Shared Decision Making Committee has designed a multiple choice survey for parents. We would appreciate your input. To access this survey, simply click on this link. Thank you in advance for your time and feedback. The results will be used to guide our future planning.

Our Vocabulary Parade is shaping up to be a big success! We have 40 words that will be showcased on February 3, 2016 at 10:00. If your child is in the parade, please feel free to join us! We will be practicing this Wednesday afternoon. Costumes do not need to be ready by Wednesday, but students should be prepared to read their word descriptions.

Students in Mrs. Tynan's room explore vocabulary words.

"Dialogue with the Superintendent" has been moved to tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 26, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. in the WGHS LGI. This is a great opportunity to ask questions of Dr. Brown and hear about the state of the District. I am looking forward to Enrichment Day which will be held this Saturday from 9:00 - 11:30. Thank you to the volunteers who make this day possible.

Last Friday our January character education assembly was held. Mrs. McConnell's flute players and Mrs. Mercer's violin players taught the school about perseverance, which is January's trait.

This week's words of the day are: denominator (M), compromise (T), advantage (W), melody (Th) and afraid (F).

Please remember that Friday is a half day. Students who are being picked up will be dismissed at 11:20. Buses will be dismissed at 11:30.

One last reminder: If you drop your child off in the morning, please remember that they cannot enter the building prior to 9:00 unless they are having breakfast. This is in the interests of safety as there is no supervision for students until 9:00, and it is too cold for them to have to stand outside. I appreciation your cooperation in this matter.

Have a great rest of the week!
