Episcopal Upper School Newsletters

Dear Upper School Families,

Quarter 1 ends on Friday, 10/3, and your student may be feeling some pressure about their grades.  This is normal and, to an extent, healthy and appropriate.  But it's also appropriate for us as adults to remind our students that there are people they can talk to, including their peers, teachers, administrators, and, yes, their families, who can and want to help them navigate that pressure.  And, on a related note, if any of you want help navigating the various challenges and struggles of upper school, please see the contact information at the bottom of this newsletter and don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks,

Dan Binder

There’s something for everyone in our Middle School production of High School Musical Jr!  From jocks and brainiacs to thespians and cheerleaders, this show has it all! Watch as the students of East High discover what happens when they break the status quo and come together through music, basketball, friendship, and fun.  Full of energy and heart, this show is perfect for the whole family, and many of our Upper Schoolers have helped with tech, stage crew, etc..  Performances are October 10-12, and tickets are on sale now - get yours here.  We'd love to see you at the show!

CONTACTS:

Feel free to reach out to any of us in the Upper School office — we are here to help and support you.  If we're not the right contact, we’ll connect you with someone who can assist you best.
