Ranger Report

04/12/24

Hello Ranger Families,

We have a lot to be excited about at the high school. Next week begins our English Language Arts SBAC testing and I am looking forward to seeing how EHS stacks up against the rest of the state. We are also hosting Destination High Performance next week which is a great honor and opportunity to showcase our district’s innovative approach to education. Our students should be proud of our accomplishments this year and I am looking forward to a strong push to June.

A few reminders: our parent spring survey closes today. We value your input and encourage you to fill out the survey today. Also, our spring play, The Play that Goes Wrong, is a fantastic performance that continues its run tonight and tomorrow. Be sure to check it out if you can.

-Go Rangers.

Please partner with us to ensure that your child is proficient in all essential learning standards. EHS teachers and counselors are working actively to reteach challenging concepts, reach out to families and create action plans for students who have not yet shown proficiency. We can do this!

Why - SBAC Matters:

We encourage high student participation in this test for multiple reasons. This test provides teachers with the data necessary to look at how our students are doing compared to other districts and allows us to make changes in our programs if needed. We do not receive any money for how our students do on this test, but it holds us accountable to ensure we provide a comparable education to other schools. For more information, see the Family guide linked below.

Senior Event Calendar

Life is full of distractions that keep us from performing our best.

Our expectation is that classrooms are cell phone free zones.

The classroom is a space for learning and engagement in preparation for a student’s next step in life. Join us in fostering this commitment to learning by:

• Talking with your student about their cell phone use in school.

• Be prepared to set limits and to collaborate with school staff in making learning a priority.
