Math Help Room

The math help room is open from 8 am until class starts and runs Monday through Thursday in room 274. It is an informal drop in, please feel free to come in anytime and ask questions. Some students also choose to use it to work on math homework and assignments, then if they need assistance, there are teachers right there willing to help.

Assembly on Student Expectations at Scarlett

We had a number of assemblies in the opening days to welcome students in a positive manner and also set expectations. The in-person assembly had one highlight from it on twitter – go to @EPSLancers and know we use hashtag #WeAreEPS.

The more extensive virtual assembly we had with all students in their classrooms was recorded and we wanted to share it with our families. See the link sent out by email.

The agenda included: Acknowledgement of the Land; Expectations for a Welcoming, Caring and Safe School; Attendance and Late polices; Friday School; Use of Spares; Consequences of Vaping; and Teaching Digital Citizenship and Use of Social Media.
