WELCOME TO THE EAST WINDSOR HIGH SCHOOL WEBSITE.

 

Hello to all members of the East Windsor Community!

The new year and the new decade are off to a great start here at East Windsor High School!  Congratulations to the Varsity Boys Basketball team on ending a long streak of ‘almost wins’ with a win over O’Brien Tech.  All of our winter sports athletes continue to represent our school and community well this season.  Our academic program is also very busy as students just completed mid- year examinations and are now gearing up for CAPT testing.  All freshmen will be participating in practice CAPT assessments, the results of which will be used to plan instruction for the next year in preparation for the CAPT.  Sophomores and selected upper classmen will be taking the CAPT during the month of March.  Success on the CAPT is a graduation requirement at EWHS.  Students need to approach the testing period with serious intent, and with the personal goal of ‘doing their best’ during this important testing program.  Families can support their students by:

1)         Ensuring their children are getting a good night’s sleep during the entire testing period;

2)         Making sure their children eat a healthy breakfast on the morning of each test;

3)         Encouraging their children to use all the time allotted during the test sessions and answering all questions completely;

4)         Encouraging their children each morning to ‘check their work’, by looking back at their answers when time allows; and

5)         Making sure your children arrive on time for testing to avoid feeling ‘rushed’.

During the testing period, we will continue with full day instruction for all students.  There will be no modification to arrival/departure time as we continue to focus on the value of instructional time for all students.

Our Winter Carnival is Saturday, February 6th!  We will be having a snow sculpture competition between the classes, figure skating demonstrations, husky dog demonstration, food and many activities for students and their families.  All are invited to attend.

I will be part of a team from EWHS who will be attending an important professional development conference through NEASC dealing with 21st century schools and standards-based reporting of student progress.  This is part of the work we are doing as a faculty in anticipation of the NEASC report recommendations.  All members of the EWHS faculty and staff are working hard as a team of professionals toward our goal of continuous school improvement.

The next Parent Advisory meeting at EWHS is on February 10th at 5:45 in the Media Center.  All members of the community are invited to attend. 

 

Sincerely,

Liam S. O’Reilly, Principal
East Windsor High School
