Dear Students, Parents and Guardians:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to East Greenwich High School for the 2014-15 school year. As is the case annually, students will be presented with new challenges that will support their individual and collective growth. When students enter EGHS on the morning of August 27th, I urge them to be prepared to take full advantage of all opportunities for development and learning. I am fully confident that given the multitude of caring educators, support staff and educational resources that are available, 2014-15 will be a year of unprecedented growth for all.
Enclosed you will find the following important information that needs your attention:
Emergency contact form 2014-15
PTG Information and sign up (3)
Listserv sign up
Students should complete and bring the necessary forms with them on the first day of school as paperwork will be collected by advisory teachers. Student schedules for SY 14-15 were mailed home earlier this summer*. All students will have copies of their schedules available in their Advisory on the first day of school. New students who need a copy of their schedule, should email smong@egsd.net
*IMPORTANT: Changes to schedules will only occur for cases involving: misplaced level, students scheduled in a class they have already taken, missing a course (under-scheduled), or misplaced due to a student not passing the prior academic year. Schedule changes involving solely elective classes will not be processed until after the 1st week of school. Attention Seniors: If you are on track for graduation regarding your required credits & would like to enroll in the Senior Project Support Class (non-credit course), you do not need to see a counselor, you can facilitate this change by calling the EGHS Guidance Department at 886-3242.
For all incoming Freshmen and transfer students, there is a very important new student orientation on Monday August 25th. We will begin the program promptly at 6:00 p.m. and you are asked to bring the previously mailed schedule. Parents and guardians should accompany their child on this evening as we will be reviewing Rhode Island’s graduation requirements, addressing how EGHS is meeting them, and detailing what is required for all students to become an East Greenwich High School graduate. Additionally, this evening will allow students to become familiar with the building, their classrooms, and many of the extracurricular opportunities we have available at EGHS.
On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the EGHS community for the 2014-15 school year. We look forward to working with you this year as we all A.S.P.I.R.E. to achieve our highest potential.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Podraza
