Directions to East Lake High School

7-30-2020  

Thank you so much for communicating your choice of educational delivery for your student. 

For families new to East Lake High School, I want to take a quick moment to ask you check your email and website frequently as I tend to send out multiple emails each week (I know other schools send one per week), especially in these fluid times. There is so much information to share!

We are working on a virtual orientation for both new and current students.  Information on safety guidelines, bell schedule, lunch and other info will also be coming your way soon.  Some of this information is already on our website.

I wanted to share the new assignment of school counselors with our families.  Our school counselors are scheduled to return in the next couple of weeks so feel free to reach out.  I always recommend reaching out via email as they are often times meeting (virtually) with students and families and unable to answer their phones. 

Mrs. Harris is on maternity leave and her students will be divided as below under traditional counselors:
