Come learn how to help your child have a safe and fun prom experience. Lauren Nichols, our Prevention and Therapeutic Specialist (known fondly by the children as the Drug Lady), will be our special guest this month. Lauren will discuss current trends in substance use, how to talk to your child about expectations for prom, and help you understand East expectations for Prom, as well as After Prom.

Seniors - Important Information
Please make sure you are regularly checking the Senior Hub for important dates and deadlines, and information about graduation and required steps.
Please verify that you have completed your ICAP - this is a graduation requirement and you will NOT be able to checkout or receive graduation tickets unless this is completed.
Senior Pass/Fail Day – May 6th
On May 6th, each senior will have a P or F posted to their Infinite Campus gradebook (under the 4th 9 weeks) in each class. If a student earns a P, that means they have passed the class. Please be aware that a student’s percentage and letter grade can still change, but not their passing status for graduation. If your student earns a F, they have until noon on the 13th to work with their teacher and bring this grade up or they cannot attend checkout and they will not be in alphabetical order.
If your student has not met all graduation requirements and check out criteria by May 16th at 4:00pm, they cannot walk with their class in graduation.
This is also the due date for BYU final transcripts, concurrent enrollment passing verification and Edgenuity course completion.
Senior Checkout is May 14th at 8:30am.
Please note that if you HAVE NOT met ALL requirements on the checklist to attend checkout, you WILL NOT be in alphabetical order at Graduation. If requirements are not met by May 16th at 4pm you WILL NOT be able to walk at Graduation with your class!
Graduation tickets will be handed out at that time.
Each senior will receive 7 tickets.
If families are in need of more tickets there will be an opportunity to pick them up at the end of rehearsal on May 19th.
Students MUST bring their pink tech return ticket to checkout to complete the process. (See the checklist or the hub for more information on Tech Return)
