 PARENT INFORMATION 

Mid-Term Grade Reports for Quarter 2:  This week marks the mid-term for Quarter 2.  Expect your students to bring a hard copy report of their mid-term grades for each class home during this week.  Please plan to take a moment to discuss the grade report with your students.  Career Development students will receive mid-term grades later in their trimester. As always, you may view your student’s academic data on the Parent/Student portal accessible by clicking here.

Do you have old cell phones and printer cartridges?  If so, you can turn them into the Eastview High School Main Office.  This program has been a great way to generate resources for our school while recycling old cell phones and printer cartridges.

 

Senior Parents

Senior Party - In early November, you should have received a four page letter containing important information about the 2008 Senior Graduation Party.  The letter contained information regarding: Donations, Target Gift Registry (search under Line 1 = Eastview, Line 2 = 2008 Eastview Senior Party), Parent Volunteers, Memory Wall , 2008 Senior Party Ticket Information, Senior Posters and Senior Party Raffle/Fundraiser. Please review the contents of the letter.  If you are planning to purchase a party ticket for your senior (great holiday gift) and/or raffle ticket – please send in your money as soon as possible.  If you haven’t sent in your memory wall words for your student, please e-mail them to stevenjkulseth@msn.com.  Please consider volunteering!  Planning a party for 600 students takes a great deal of work and can only be accomplished if we have a great number of people helping.  If you are planning to volunteer to help work the party, please send an e-mail to dgoblirsch@charter.net. The Senior Party Committee is working hard to make sure that our students have a very memorable, enjoyable, alcohol free, graduation party! If you did not receive the senior letter, please send an e-mail message to Hensley138@aol.com to have one resent.

This week is the time for students to review their Quarter 3 schedules.  Please review your schedules on the Student Portal. If you believe an adjustment is necessary for your Quarter 3 schedule please make an appointment to meet with your guidance counselor.  Reasons for scheduling an appointment for a schedule adjustment include a level change (a class is too difficult for which teacher input is required), student has not met a necessary prerequisite, drop a class to add a study hall or add a required course for graduation.  Adjustments will not be made to accommodate requests for specific instructors, study halls, class periods, or lunch periods.
