Late Bus
- The late bus will run every Tuesday and Thursday. The bus picks up around 3:15pm at door #4. You may only use the late bus for clubs or detention. You must sign up in the main office on the day of the late bus by 10:30am.
Library
- There is NO EATING in the Library
- All students coming to the Library must have an Ehall pass to EHS Library or a yellow paper pass.
- Reminder – students are only allowed to come down during one study hall block per day, students will be sent back if trying to come into the Library during multiple study hall blocks in the same day.
- This is a reminder that–on M, T, W and F–students may only be in the library during Hornet Homeroom for quick in-and-out visits (claiming an ID, printing a document, or book renewal/return, for examples). HR teacher passes are fine for such purposes. Staying longer requires a pass from a subject teacher and subject work necessitating library support/resources.
- No students should be visiting during HH on Thursdays.
- The library houses three permanent HHs every day and often gets a fourth due to coverage needs. We simply do not have the HH space to accommodate students just hoping to “hang out.”
- The EHS Library area to the immediate right after entering will be a designated quiet-only spot for students, staff members and teachers. Stress-relieving activities such as adult coloring, sticker books, sudoku, etc. remain available; however, in response to patron feedback, gaming items have been removed to allow for booked classes to operate without noise distraction. Additionally, ehall pass requires that our AA be able to hear students as they identify themselves upon arrival and exit.
Study hall students who wish to socialize should sit elsewhere in the library.
- Per Mrs. Guarriello, the EHS Library will no longer be available to students after school on Mondays due to faculty meetings being held in the space. The EHS Library continues to be open until 3 PM on Tuesdays through Fridays.
Chromebook / IT Help
The IT department will hold Chromebook support for students during Hornet Homeroom (10:18 – 10:55) and from 2 to 2:30 pm outside the library entrance.
School Store Closure
The Hornet’s Nest School Store will be closed the week of April 17-20 and will reopen on April 24. Please plan purchase accordingly.
Branch’s Birthday
We will be celebrating Branch’s birthday during all lunches on April 12. Branch will be there for photos and to spread some birthday cheer. To honor Branch, there will be a fundraiser during lunches from April 11th-18th to support the EHS Therapy Dog Program. We will be selling EPSD Therapy dog stickers and/or bracelets for $1. Anyone who purchases one will be entered for a chance to win a private party with Branch during Hornet Homeroom (date TBD). 7 winners will be invited to bring a friend to Branch’s Private Party. Thanks for celebrating with us!

Pet Drive for Peaceable Kingdom
The students from room 308 are hoping to help out animals in the Lehigh Valley by holding a pet drive for Peaceable Kingdom in Whitehall, PA. The drive will run from Monday, March 13th until April 28, 2023. Boxes for donations can be found in the main office, the hallway by the cafeteria, the lobby by Mr. Fortier’s office, and the auditorium lobby.
Peaceable Kingdom is looking for food, treats, and toys for the animals, and cleaning supplies for the facility. You can find their 2023 wish list on Peaceable Kingdom’s website or the many posters hanging around EHS. Every little donation can help animals in need. Thank you for your support!

Tickets will not be sold to any students who have any outstanding obligations to the high school (debt or behavioral/ detentions). Once students pay or take care of the outstanding obligations, they can then purchase tickets.
Remember if you plan to bring a non-EHS student as your guest, you MUST FIRST fill out and submit the Senior Ball Guest Pass form, available at your assistant principal’s office or you can print it yourself using the link above.

Clubs
Our Differences Make Us Human is our GCC 2023 theme. We are excited to share this important message via our GCC apparel. “The backs” show our theme in English plus the 16 other languages that our current EHS ESL students and GCC members speak. We hope/trust that this year’s message and logo will help spread good vibes near and far. As always (our 12th year and running), funds from the proceeds of our sale will go to support a charity TBD by EHS GCC members ($3200 thus far!!).
Kindly place your order by Friday, April 21, 2023
