Calendar Days – Spring Break
As the weather turns cooler and we all start to think about warmer days and vacations, please be aware the school
calendar appears to have an extra-long spring break this year. It is a bit deceiving. The inclement weather makeup days,
will be scheduled in this order: 4/2, 4/3, 2/27, 3/9, 5/29, 6/1, 6/2, 6/3, 6/4, 6/8.
Absences due to vacations are not considered excused, which means your student will not be able to make-up any work
missed on these days if we have school.
Health Alert Memo
Last week, students were issued the following handout from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the
Enterovirus D68. In case the handout did not make it home, you can view it here: http://easternhs.org/parents/ev68.pdf

Dress Code for Dances
Our staff is happy to volunteer personal time to provide activities such as the dances students enjoy so much. However,
in recent years the length of some of the female students’ skirts have continued to climb, making it very difficult to
monitor our ticket lines of students coming into the dance as we deal with dress code. In light of this, we are clarifying
the dress code for the events and need your help in making sure in advance that clothing is appropriate:




Dresses must be no more than 1 inch above the top of the kneecap (measurement will be taken at the
end line of the main fabric of the dress, not at the end of any sheer material enhancing the dress)
Slits must be no more than 1 inch above the top of the kneecap
Dresses must be complete with no cut outs or sheer material that expose the stomach or sides
Dresses must not have plunging necklines or backs that are cut out below the natural waist
Attire for those not wearing dresses, must include:





Collared or Tuxedo Shirt
Tie
Dress Pants
Dress Shoes
Suit or Tuxedo Jacket
Students will not be allowed to wear jeans, tennis shoes, or baseball caps.
Students must be dressed appropriately to be admitted and must remain in dress code for the duration of
the event. Ticket prices will not be refunded if a student is not dressed appropriately and has to be turned
away or removed from the event.
We realize that many of the local retailers provide a large selection of evening and party dresses, but our events are not
“club events” or “private party” events. They are for high school age students. We appreciate in advance your assistance
in ensuring students are dressed appropriately for these events.
