8th Grade families, tomorrow is our trip to Dollywood. If your student is attending, they should arrive at school no later than 6:45am. Students should bring or eat breakfast before they load the bus. Students are allowed to bring their phone and snacks. Students will be given a lunch voucher, and refillable cup, but should bring money for extra food, drinks or souvenirs. Students are required to be in a group of at least 3 at all times, and to check in with teachers throughout the day. After leaving Dollywood, students will eat at Cici's pizza and return home around 9:30pm. Your student will text or call with an updated arrival time. Parents will follow the normal pickup route, entering through the lower gate.
Message from EY: the 7th grade field trip will be back at 4:30 due to an unexpected delay.
Hey everyone it’s Mrs. Leigh Davis with some important updates about our upcoming 7th Grade iFLY field trip on Monday, April 14th. If your child is going on the trip, you need to be at school by 6:45 AM. That means set your alarms and don’t be late—we’ll be leaving right on time at 7am! Also, you’ll need to be picked up that afternoon at 4:00 PM, not 5 like we originally said. We’ll get back to school around 4, and we’ll unload the bus together. Parents will line up, like usual afternoon pickup and your student will be called out to you. Here are a few reminders for what your child should wear and bring if they are participating in the indoor skydiving portion of the trip: Wear comfortable clothes. Make sure shoes tie and stay on your feet—no slides or flip flops, crocs, or hey dudes! Leave jewelry and watches at home. We don’t want anything to get lost or broken. Get ready for a fun day
Good evening, this is Mr. Byland with a few announcements, This coming week, 7th grade will be going on a field trip on Monday and will need to be dropped off by 6:45 and picked up at 4pm. 8th grade will be doing so on Wednesday, with students being dropped off at EY by 6:45am and pick up somewhere between 9:00-10:00pm. Students will text or call when we start home. Students will take a very abbreviated assessment this week in math and ELA to discover any gaps in learning we may still need to cover before testing. School is a half day on Thursday and there is no school on Friday. Thanks and as always, GO PANTHERS!!

We will hold our Spring Concert on May 6th at 7:00pm in the Mountain Heritage HS Auditorium. Students are to report to MHHS no later than 6:15 that evening. Students have been given a letter to bring home to you detailing specific attire information and other details. If this has not found its way to you, please send me an email or call me at the school and I will have a form sent home for you. The bottom half of the sheet needs to be signed and returned to me as soon as possible. I am excited for you all to hear the work that your student has put in to make this event successful. I will also be sending home a letter later this week inquiring about an afterschool rehearsal for all students in band. This rehearsal will happen the week that we return from spring break. Have a wonderful evening!
