E.H.S Journey
February 2026
Dear Parent/Guardian:
What an interesting January it has been for EHS? The weather has added a slight wrinkle in the academic planning for staff and students. As we recover the time missed, please take special note of rescheduled dates below. Also, some students may experience additional work to be done at home. Please check in with them to ensure this work, if applicable, gets completed. Be sure to reach out to us if you have any questions. Stay safe and stay warm.
