From the Principal –
We at East High want our students to become leaders and change the world. We can help our students be the positive role models our world needs by working together. Communication is key in this endeavor, so please feel free to contact your child’s teachers by email or phone to check on his/her progress. Canvas and Infinite Campus are available to monitor your child’s grades online. Please contact Ms. Williams (712-224-7440) if you need help accessing either program. You can also ask your child to show you his/her grades on his/her laptop. The staff at East High School wants OUR kids to excel and be college and career ready. If you have concerns or suggestions to improve our communication, please contact us using a new feature on our website called Let’s Talk! Registration will start in January for the 2017-2018 school year. Please talk to your child about the courses he/she will be signing up for next year. We offer classes in engineering, health sciences, construction, graphic design, welding, information technology, culinary, business, automotive, JROTC, and police science just to name a few. With so many opportunities to take dual-credit classes, many of our students are graduating high school with twenty plus college credits for free. [Students must be proficient on the Iowa Assessments and most dual credit classes require a minimum score on the ACT or CPT. Please contact your child’s counselor for more information.] During Parent/Teacher Conferences on March 1st and 2nd, you will sign the Verification Sheet for the courses your child has selected. Semester tests will be given on January 11th and 12th and account for 10% of students’ final grades. All students are expected to take semester tests. Students will not be able to take semester tests early. If a student is absent, he/she will need to make arrangements for make-ups. Students who miss a semester test will receive a zero on the test until it is made up. Students will not receive Incompletes or Conditional Grades at the end of the semester. Friday, January 13th is a Teacher Work Day and there is no school for students. Report cards will be sent home with students sometime during the week of January 25, 2017.
Please enjoy the holidays and relish the time spent with family and friends. Have a safe and joyful
holiday season! Richard O. Todd Principal East High School
