From the Office of the Principal
Dear Parents:
We do our best to provide you with all of the information you need from our school. On a weekly basis, you will get this email from us, but we also spend a good deal of time updating our website information and our Edline homepage.
At this point, we still have many families who are not logged into Edline. Parents should not use their student's accounts. Parents and students have different information available in their accounts. While you get information about student grades on both accounts, Edline is also linked directly to our Blackboard alert system. If you are not logged into Edline, you will not get Emergency or Outreach messages that we send from school. This includes messages about school closures due to weather. If you did not get an email
on Saturday reminding you about our Fall Clothing Drive, you are not logged into Edline and will not get our alerts.
If you cannot find your Edline account information, you may call Mrs. Buroojy for assistance at
856-663-2247 x 114.
Some schedule notes for this week:
We have our annual Open House on Thursday, October 29 from
7-9 pm. Check in begins at
6:30 pm. Please share this information with your friends and family who are looking at high schools.
Because of the need to plan for Open House set up, school will close at
11:50 am
on Thursday. All students not with a coach or activity moderator need to leave the building. There is no after school study hall
on Thursday.
School will be closed
on Friday. Our teachers will have a professional day on Friday, October 30.
Have a wonderful week.
Heather Crisci
Principal

REMINDERS FROM THE OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS:
Parking Lot Reminder:
Parents are reminded that they must use the parent drop off lane in the rear of the building to drop off students in the morning to ensure the safety of all students. Please pull forward to the top of the lane so that traffic does not back up into the side parking lot. Students should not exit parent driven vehicles in the travel lanes of the student parking area; this jeopardizes the safety of the students.
Attention Junior Parents:
The representative from Herff-Jones will be in the dining hall on Tuesday, October 27 during the activity period to address any problems with class rings. If your child needs a ring adjustment, please reminder him/her to speak with Eaton at this time.
