Note From Principal Pautler Note From Principal Pautler

Hello Bulldog Families,


Buckle up, friends—it’s one of those weeks where your calendar might break a sweat. 🗓💪

First up: The Annual Bulldog Bash – THIS Saturday!
This year we’re flipping the script and starting in the morning, so grab your coffee, throw on your Bulldog gear, and come help us officially launch the EMHS athletic season. Think of it as the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, but with more maroon, more barking, and way better breakfast food truck options.

Next: Open House – Tuesday the 19th!
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live your student’s schedule , now’s your chance. We’ll run through all 7 classes in a speedy 8-minute format starting at 6:30 PM. Bring comfortable shoes and your “I’m paying attention” face. Schedule is posted below—yes, there will be a quiz (just kidding… probably).

Also next week: Howdy Week!
Our annual celebration of all things school spirit is here, complete with themed dress-up days and evening events. You’ll find the full list of themes below, so you have no excuse for showing up in normal clothes.

And Senior Parents… we’ve got a pre-game for you.
At 5:45 PM on Tuesday—right before Open House—we’re holding the Annual Graduating Senior Parent Meeting. If you’re the parent or guardian of a senior, there’s a lot you’ll need to know this year, so send someone from your family. If no one shows up, we’ll assume you’re totally fine with learning important graduation details from your kid’s group chat.

It’s going to be a busy, exciting week, so hydrate, get your rest, and prepare to kick off the school year—Bulldog style! 🐾

📱 Tap Pay & Student Phones

📱 Tap Pay & Student Phones – Quick Note


Just a quick note about student phone use and purchases: Yes—students may use Tap Pay from their phones to buy items for sale on campus. This includes vending machines and any other sales we have throughout the school year.


That said, phones should only be out for the transaction itself. Once the purchase is complete, the phone goes right back away—no scrolling, texting, or calls in between.


This keeps us in line with our bell-to-bell no-phone rule while still making it easy for students to grab what they need.



Thanks for helping us balance convenience with the power of presence!
