THIS WEEK
Back-To-School Night Open House
Thank you to all who were able to attend our Back-To-School Night Open House. We were so happy to see all the students and families mingling and building relationships. Our Senior Night was also a huge success. If you missed it, check out the presentation slides (English, Espanol) and keep your eye on the new College & Career Planning website.
Student Expectations Presentations
This week we held school-wide virtual presentations to review the Behavior Education Plan (BEP), Standard Response Protocol (SRP), consent, how to recognize and report incidents of sexual violence, what staff are responsible for doing when reports are made to them, how to get connected with school and community resources, and what the district's disciplinary process is for those who commit sexual violence. Here are the slides and recordings (BEP/SRP, Sexual Violence).
COMING UP
REST Screening With 9th Graders
At East we are committed to helping our students be strong learners, though sometimes stressors or experiences with violence interfere with learning. Because of this, we are offering a program for 9th graders called REST (Resilient response to the Effects of Stress and Trauma) that involves screening and a group intervention focused on building resilience. Here is more information in English and Espanol. Parents who would like to opt their student out of this screening should email Ann Reyes, School Psychologist.
