You are invited to join the East Hills Global Education Team, whether you've been a member in the past or are looking to join us for the first time. Our first meeting of the school year is Thursday, September 30 at 7:30 a.m. (before school) in the Front Gateway (by the cafeteria).  This meeting will be in person. Our Global Education Team (GET) exists to build a community that supports a restorative culture through relationships and educational equity for all. The three main focus points of the GET are student outreach, culture and climate, and training and development.

Dear East Hills School Community:

We had intended last week to be our first full week of school, but apparently, it was elusive for us.  A big thank you to our students, families, and staff for working through last Friday's unexpected power outage and early dismissal.  Our school community's flexibility and support helped to make a complex situation a safe and successful one . . . thank you!

Mr. Rubel

Our program at East Hills will begin this Tuesday, September 21 at 7:15 am in the main gym. This is an intramural team and does not require any previous experience playing basketball, nor will there be a tryout. Practices will be held Monday through Thursday mornings and the program will run until near the end of October. Please make sure your physical is on file in the office!

If your middle school child plans to try out or participate in a sport this year, they must have an athletic physical on file that is dated by a physician no earlier than April 15, 2021. The form must be turned into the school office before students can participate in a school sport.

Each year, East Hills offers students a number of clubs for student participation. The clubs typically begin in October.  In late September/early October, we will offer an explanation of the clubs and sign-up sheets online for families, and once we know which clubs the students are interested in, the clubs will begin to meet. Students should listen for announcements at the end of the day over the PA for club information.

To further our mission for equity and inclusion, the East Hills Global Education Team (GET) is pleased to share information about the Cavalier Fund. The purpose of this fund is to provide access for all students to enjoy school activities (e.g., field trips). As a school community, our desire is for all students to have these learning experiences. Our intention is to provide families with a chance to give funds to assist our students in a direct and meaningful way.

Your pay to participate fee may be waived. We do not want any student to miss the opportunity to participate in athletics or clubs due to financial hardship. Please contact Mr. Rubel, East Hills Principal, at jrubel@bloomfield.org

The weekend of April 24 was an exciting one in many Bloomfield Hills School family households, as middle school Forensics students performed their well-rehearsed pieces for three rounds of judging in the virtual Michigan Interscholastic Forensics Association (MIFA) Spring Forensics Tournament

Middle School Orchestra Director Nat Erde provided a fun and educational challenge to Orchestra students at West Hills and East Hills Middle Schools recently: create a remix, or variation, and present it in a video. For this project, 6th - 8th grade Orchestra students chose a song or exercise from class and altered two aspects of the music, such as key signature, tempo, rhythm, articulation, or dynamics.

Congratulations to the BHS students who were winners in the Bloomfield Township Public Library’s 2021 Photo Contest!

Please remember that nuts of all kinds are restricted at East Hills because of students with severe and life-threatening allergies. The restriction is in effect in the entire building and at all times, including the school day, after school, evenings and weekends.

East Hills Middle School became a nut-restricted school in January of 2013. As a result, please carefully read and review all food packaging prior to sending food items to school. We appreciate in advance your full cooperation.
