Dear East Hills School Community:f

What a fabulous year it has been! We ended the year on a remarkable note. A special thank you to our eighth graders and their families for making this a memorable year! Last night, our 8th Grade Farewell Party was amazing, fun, and tasty! A huge thank you to Mrs. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Sass, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, Mr. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Mullens along with a great team of eighth-grade parents for organizing a fantastic night that truly sent our students off in style.

Our eighth grade also did a tremendous job today at their recognition assembly. We are so proud of all of their efforts while at East Hills. They are a talented group, who have left a powerful legacy, and we look forward to following them as they go on to do so many great things!

Also thank you to both Ms.Weaver and Ms. Ross in the main office for all their help "keeping the ship afloat" for another year. We could not have done it without them!

As we head off in different directions for the summer, please take time to enjoy your children. If there is anything we can do to help over the summer, please do not hesitate to contact us.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

Dear East Hills Families,

As we near the end of the school year, we wanted to take a moment to say how proud we are of the work your children have put into their learning! With summer quickly approaching, we can sense the excitement in our students. Summer break is a wonderful time to rest, rejuvenate, travel and spend time with family.

In order to help prevent "SUMMER SLIDE" and to assist parents in keeping their children engaged in learning over the summer, the East Hills Summer Learning Resources Padlet has been created. This resource is packed full of fun & exciting summer reading ideas and activities, math skill-builders, tutorials and games to help our students maintain and build upon the knowledge they have developed this year. There is also a link to the Bloomfield Township Library for families to participate in the free summer reading programs offered. Families play a key role in preventing summer learning loss. We hope that you will encourage your children to read and practice math skills over the summer to prepare them for another successful school year. Simply click on the link and explore a variety of resources all summer long!
