Jr. High Musical
Our 7th/8th graders are excited to bring you the songs and moves of the East High Wildcats in this upbeat production! We hope you can join us this Thursday at 1:30 & 7:00 p.m.
Policy on students wearing shorts
Many students are excited about being able to wear shorts now that it is March. Just a reminder that when the forecast calls for a warmer day, that may not be the temperature at 10:00 am. The temperature at first recess could be 30 or lower which is quite cold for shorts. Long pants to cover shorts for the morning hours may work well. Please take that into account as your children get ready for school in the morning. Students are required to go outside for recess even if they are wearing shorts. Thanks!
Athletic Events
Practice has started for soccer and track. Check the OCCS website for more details: Link to OCCS Calendar
