Attendance Recovery
Beginning this week, our attendance recovery options become available. As a reminder, students over 5 absences in any course will not have access to Smart Period privileges (all students), and will not walk in the graduation ceremony (upperclassmen). One hour of attendance recovery recovers one absence. Options for making up this seat time include:
 |
Morning Attendance Recovery will be offered twice per week this year on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6:45-7:45am in Mr. Rotton’s room (B-2). Morning recovery begins October 20th. No advanced sign-up is necessary, and no students will be let in after 6:45am. Please make sure you have things to work on during this time. Each morning recovery session recovers one absence. |
 |
Beginning on October 21st, After School Tutoring will be offered three days per week in Mrs. Wodzicki’s room (F-10) – Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – from 3:15-4:15pm. Transportation will not be provided, so please make arrangements to be picked up at 4:15pm if attending. Each after school tutoring session recovers one absence. IMPORTANT: While attendance recovery is awarded for this time, students must be present for tutoring and academic work. |
 |
Saturday School will be offered three times this semester on the following dates:
The cost of Saturday School is $20 and advanced sign-up is required. Students have the opportunity to earn 6 hours of recovery at each Saturday School. |

We will be celebrating Veterans Day on November 10th with a Field of Flags, where each person is recognized and will receive a flag in their honor, placed on the field. If you would like to have someone recognized and raise money for disabled veterans, please follow the link: https://support.dav.org/participant/EHHS. You may also share this link with friends and family so that we can recognize as many veterans as possible within our community and families. We will be collecting names until November 5th.

Last Week in Eagle Country
 |
|
| On Tuesday, our crew of GEM alumnae and other volunteers traveled to Hillandale Elementary School to speak with the elementary Girls Empowered group. The East students were asked questions about what high school is like as well as questions the elementary schoolers have always been curious about. It was a great time for fellowship and mentorship, especially since many of the East mentors attended Hillandale as elementary students. | |

     |
| On Thursday, October 30th, East’s SGA hosted its annual Trunk or Treat for the community. Over 30 trunks were present, providing tons of creative trunk designs, tons of candy, and lots of fun for our guests! Thank you to all of the groups, clubs, teams, community organizations, and businesses that helped to make this event special! | |
  |
 |
| After Trunk or Treat, the FRMS and EHHS orchestras put on their annual Halloween Spooktacular concert for the community. Students performed lots of spooky Halloween music, the video transitions were fun and nostalgic for audience members, the costume parade for littles was adorable, and Mrs. Quinn’s costume changes for every song were amazing as usual! We are so proud of the orchestra program Mrs. Quinn has built at both East and FRMS. | |
   |
   |
| On Friday, Atkinson invited our EHHS football team to help them celebrate achieving their Q1 Wildly Important Goal. The football team was joined by HHS cheerleaders, as Atkinson is a feeder school for both East and Hendersonville, and both teams had a blast hosting a morning similar to a pep rally since the students worked so hard to achieve their goal! | |
  |
  |
| When Halloween’s on a school day, it’s a fun excuse to be silly and dress up. Lots of Eagles went all out with their costumes – many coordinating with their friends and coworkers. We loved to see the creative costume ideas roaming the halls all day long! | |
    |
    |
| SGA hosted their annual Halloween Party for our Exceptional Eagles in the library on Friday. Students all dressed up in costume and enjoyed food, fun, fellowship, games, crafts, and lots of sweets! It was an excellent way to end the week! | |

Our advanced theater students traveled to Shelby High School both Friday and Saturday to compete in the regional NCTC theater competition. The students performed on a show called “Life and Death in an Empty Hallway” by Christopher Evans and did an outstanding job competing against a dozen other schools from our region. Students involved in this performance were Katie Thompson, Kenzie Ward, James Curtis, Julie Smithson, Audrey Flanigan, Estrella Martinez, Alexis Gish, Samantha Sherlin, and Bella Barr. These Eagles took home three awards this year:
We are so proud of the hard work of these actors! Congratulations, Eagles Performing Arts Company! |
