Good afternoon Eagle Families,
This is Dan Schmittdiel, Principal of East Lake High School, with some important reminders for the week. First off, we hope that everyone had a relaxing Spring Break and are excited to begin quarter 4 of the 2023-24 school year! Looking outside of the academics, our students are always ready to SOAR to success as we progress throughout the school year. This week we continue through our Spring Athletics season. Let’s show our school spirit and cheer on our different sports teams, clubs, and performing arts programs throughout the year – a list of this week’s events can be found below:
We hope to see you there to cheer on our students this week, good luck Eagles!
Start of Quarter 4 and Wrapping Up Quarter 3
It’s hard to believe that tomorrow, Monday, March 18th, begins the start of quarter 4! Quarter 4 is a busy one, with multiple important assessments, from Industry Certification testing, AICE testing, to FAST ELA, different End-of-Course exams, and Advanced Placement testing in April and May, our Spring Sports programs continuing in full swing, our Spring Musical Adam’s Family, multiple performing arts performances, awards ceremonies, prom, senior breakfast, graduation, and much more – let’s make quarter 4 our best yet this year and continue to strive to greatness each and every day!
As a reminder, quarter 3 ended March 8th. Grades will be finalized and submitted by this Friday, March 22nd. If your student still has missing work to submit that their teacher is accepting to bring up a low grade, please have them submit it ASAP. Also, remember that semester grades are determined by a combination of quarter 3, quarter 4, and semester exam grades so it’s vital to hit the ground running in quarter 4.
ELHS Prom
Prom takes place this Friday, March 22nd, at Ruth Eckerd Hall from 7pm to 11pm. Tickets will be on sale again start Tuesday and will continue through the week. For more information, please reach out to our Junior Class Sponsor, Mr. Reisinger at reisingerri@pcsb.org.
Senior Class of 2024 Reminders
Spring Challenge (Closes March 22)
As a reminder, the Spring Break Challenges close Friday, March 22nd. If your child hasn’t completed the review in these different areas, we HIGHLY recommend they work through it this week. These reviews will reinforce all of the learning from their different classes. More information can be found in the attached flyers, and we’ll continue to send out reminders!
Additional Announcements/Reminders
Let’s continue to SOAR at East Lake High School as we move into the 4th and final quarter of the 2023-24 school year! If you have any questions at all, as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Assistant Principal or Counselor. Always remember that Life is Better at the Lake. Have an amazing rest of your weekend and GO EAGLES!
