Academic Support for All Students<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EHS is offering free after-school help twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Teachers and some students are available to help with homework, studying for exams, or improving the understanding of course material. Teachers will be available after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 -3:30 in the EHS library. Students do NOT need to sign up in advance. They just need to come to the library at 2:30 and make sure they have transportation home at 3:30.\u00a0\u00a0 If needed, there is a late bus on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:15. If students need to utilize the late bus, they must sign up on this form LATE BUS SIGN UPS before 10 am on the day they need to take the bus. We hope our students take advantage of this great opportunity to help them succeed academically at EHS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bus Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a student is riding home on another student’s bus, both students must have a parent note granting permission. The parent note needs to include both students’ names, the bus number, and the date on which they will be riding together. There must also be a parent’s signature on each note. Together, first thing in the morning, both students must go to one of their AP offices for approval.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All students who ride the bus must promptly report to the bus platform when the bell rings at 2:25 PM. If you miss your bus at the end of the day, buses will not be called back to pick you up. You will be responsible for your own transportation home once buses depart from EHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The late bus will run Tuesdays and Thursdays. The bus picks up around 3:15pm at door #4.  You may only use the late bus for clubs or detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
