Dear Wolves,

We would like to invite you to a community forum, on Teams, Monday March 14 at 7:00 pm. You can use this link to join.

The second option is to share your thoughts using this Form survey that asks these questions:

Over the past several weeks, on our television screens we have all watched the same horrific events unfold in Ukraine. For some of us, this crisis hasn’t impacted our daily lives, but for some members of our community, daily tasks have become difficult if not impossible. For students impacted by this crisis, school may have turned into an afterthought. We recognize that these students need support, but we need help in identifying who these students are. If you have been impacted by the Russia and Ukraine crisis, please fill out this Forms Survey.

If your student or another student you know is struggling because of this crisis, please fill out one of the Forms surveys below. There is one survey for parent/guardian responses and another for student responses.

Students who would like to be included in our Spring 2022 Community Service Award List and seniors who would like to receive the Community Service Honor Cord for graduation need to turn in all community service hours by May 19th. Students from all grade levels can be included on the Award List if they have documented at least 50

hours. Inclusion on this list can be listed as an award on job, college,

scholarship, and other applications. Due to Covid restrictions seniors will require only 150 hours to earn the Honor Cord instead of the usual 200. However, students submitting 200 or more hours will still earn a spot on the top 200+ hour award list. Students can enter their hours at  www.ehs-service.org.
