Credit Alert Reports
As we approach the end of the semester, we publish Credit Alert Reports for students whose credit may be in jeopardy. These reports are a key indicator that a student must actively engage in the classroom learning in order to be successful.
Students and parents are encouraged to contact each teacher of the courses in which a credit alert was created to create a plan for success.
Paper copies of the reports will be sent home with students on Monday Dec. 18. We will also email copies to all Parents and students. In addition, Parents can also access a digital copy by logging into Aspen through the link on our website and viewing the document.
Winter Break
This is the last week of school until Winter Break.
There will be no classes for students December 25 - January 5. Classes will resume on January 8, 2024.
We extend Season's Greetings to all Eastside Secondary students and their families.

Safe Arrival Absence Reporting
We have implemented the Safe Arrival Student Absence Reporting System as our primary process for families to report student absences.
SafeArrival is a system used by HPEDSB schools to send messages to families by email, SMS text, and telephone. Care givers will be able to report student absences, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using their choice of a mobile app, the SafeArrival website, or an interactive toll-free phone number. Future absences can be reported anytime.
School Council
Eastside Secondary School has an active School Council that consists of parents, staff, students, and community members. Meetings are held regularly. The team works together as an advisory group to support excellent programming and to foster ongoing school improvement.
If you are interested, please join us at 5:30 on January 15th in the library. We're going to have pizza for all who attend!
Future meetings will be March 25 and May 27, 2024.
