Principal Michael Podraza’s Weekly EGHS Update
Week of 9-11-2017
EGHS News and Information!
A weekly newsletter with information about upcoming events related to East Greenwich High School
In an effort to increase the dissemination of important information about upcoming events occurring at East Greenwich High School, I have created this newsletter which will usually be sent out to the EGHS school community once a week via the EGHS announcements email.
Also in an effort to not inundate your email inboxes, the EGHS main office will make every attempt to send only one email a day. It is our intention to have all announcements, information, links etc. in that email, so please review the daily email in it’s entirety so that opportunities are not overlooked.
Hope you find this a useful tool in navigating this school year.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTSEGHS to Begin Automated Attendance Phone Calls
Beginning in the near future, parents and guardians can expect to receive automated phone calls from EGHS when their child has been marked as “absent unexcused” for the day. Parents and guardians who have mistakenly forgotten to call in to the main office to notify us of their child’s absence are asked to call 398-1300, then press #1. Student absences that are not excused by a parent or guardian will be subject to the district's attendance and disciplinary procedures.
Links to Various EGHS Information/Documents
Unfortunately the migration to the Town/District’s new website platform did not go as planned. Here are some links to documents and information that you may find of use in planning for this school year:
- Chromebook insurance can be purchased two ways (neither of which have the money go through EGPS):
- Via the WorthAve website for EGPS
- How to Sign up for “Remind”- Important announcements from Mr. Podraza via text message (used very sparingly- early dismissals, cancellations, etc)
