School Procedures
Information About Homework & Absences

If your child is absent from school due to illness, you do not need to call the school; however, a note is required when he/she returns to school.

Work missed and homework is not automatically organized and sent home.  After a child has been absent for two consecutive days, the parent/guardian may request homework be sent home by emailing the teacher.

To pick up homework, the homework center, provided as a courtesy to our parents, is located in the front foyer and open until 8 p.m. 

 

School Energy Pledge Program
Forms Due Today!
Join us in the School Energy Pledge Program in which we have been invited to participate by Duquesne Light.  Each form returned represents $25 paid to EH.  Click here for the form.

 

Family Forum:  Internet Safety
November 23, 7-8:30 p.m. at Eden Hall

If your child plays on the computer, uses a cell phone, or plays live on video games, you and your child should attend this important Forum.

While technology has changed the way we do business, it has increased the dangers for our children.  Tom Swan, Allegheny County Assistant District Attorney, will be here to talk to parents about the real and common dangers facing our children. Don't miss this important event!
