STAFF APPRECIATION DONATIONS NEEDED
If you already donated – thank you! With the first conferences coming up quick, we want to show teachers and staff how much we appreciate all their hard work! This year, we’ll have a special treat – free chair massages courtesy of EverHealth Chiropractic. We’ll also serve some goodies to go along with the massages – but we need your help! Please consider a cash donation through PayPal at http://ephspto.org/staff-appreciation/ or send a check (made out to EPHS PTO) to the school by mail or with your student (dropped at South Entrance Office; attention PTO).
DEADLINE TODAY: ORDER YOUR STUDENT DIRECTORIES
Student (family) directories are a printed directory that includes a listing of public, District-collected data with high school students’ and their parent/guardian names, addresses and phone numbers (unless families opt out of providing this information to the District). It is handy to have – especially for freshmen (much of the information stays the same over the years), and again as seniors as you are putting together plans for graduation, parties, etc. Please order by September 27th so we can print the right number. Thank you!
WHAT I WISH I KNEW ABOUT COLLEGE PLANNING – PARENT PANEL
Tuesday, October 12th 7:00 p.m., online event. Don’t miss this popular discussion with experienced parents addressing everything from the college application process to what size dorm sheets to buy and all of the hurdles in between. We’ll also hear from high school counselors about some key college-prep items. We’ll cover many helpful topics and have time for questions and answers. This is a great meeting for parents of juniors and seniors. Watch this newsletter, Facebook, or the PTO website for more information and meeting links.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
After a year + off from in-person classes and activities, teachers and staff are excited to have volunteers back in the school! Resources centers will be staffed with volunteers again this year (find more info on resources centers here), and other volunteer opportunities will come and go throughout the year. Please consider signing up to receive emails with more information and notifications when opportunities come up. See the SignUp Genius on our volunteer webpage. Thank you!
