Dear East Hills School Community:

As the end of the school year is fast approaching, we have a number of important events coming up next week. On Monday, June 14, we will be collecting the school-issued Chromebooks (and some iPads) from our face-to-face students. The end of the school year is clearly upon us, and next week marks the last week of school. We have completed a number of rigorous challenges, and now it is time to celebrate and to reflect on a great year. 

"Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game."
-Michael Jordan

Mr. Rubel

The school year is winding down and the final Learner Profile trait of the school year begins at the start of June.  This trait is fittingly "reflective."  Throughout the school year, students and staff have walked their way through the ten Learner Profile traits, examining how these traits are embodied in themselves and others.  As the students move through these final weeks, teachers will ask them for their final reflections on their school year.  Being reflective is often something that many breeze through due to our busy schedules.  

We are excited to share with you our National Junior Honor Society Pre-Recorded Induction Ceremony.  With that being said, we encourage you to reach out and congratulate those within our community that have been awarded with this honor.  Families, students, and friends of the community -- please take time to enjoy our Class of 2025 National Junior Honor Society ceremony.

With the end of the school year upon us, we have several items in our lost and found. Items are located in a few locations around the building (near the cafeteria, near the gym, in the elementary Gateway, etc), but we will be moving them closer to the front doors the first week of the summer.  We will keep items there through Friday, June 25, 2021, and all remaining items will be donated that afternoon. 

All children are eligible to receive meals from BHS at this time throughout the summer. Curbside pickup is available:

Mondays and Thursdays
12:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Bloomfield Hills High School

August 27, 2021
4 to 7 p.m.

All BHS families are invited to attend. There will be games for all ages, animals from Bowers Farm, raffles, prizes, food, and more!

The 2021 Oakland Youth Orchestra recently held Solo Competitions, and two BHS students - Hannah Oh and Elizabeth Oh - placed top in their categories! 

If your child has prescription or non-prescription medication here in the office, please arrange to pick it up by Friday, June 25. Unclaimed medications will be disposed of after that date. 

The annual District Art Show, Art From The Hills is officially open and available to view virtually.  Artwork was chosen to be put on display to represent some of the best work created this year by our Bloomfield Hills Visual Art Students including a number of students from East Hills.  Check out the district website to view all of the work from our amazing artists.

District-owned devices (Chromebook or iPad and chargers), will be collected on Monday, June 14th. We will continue deployment of one-on-one devices next fall, but devices will be repaired and updated over the summer months by our IT team before being redistributed in the fall. Please be sure to bring all devices AND chargers to school on Monday, June 14.

Every spring, BHS art teachers organize the "Art From the Hills" K-12 District Art Show which showcases the artwork from our talented and hard-working students. Instead of a physical art display, this year's "Art From The Hills" is completely virtual! The district art show web gallery can be viewed here: www.bloomfield.org/artshow

Planning and construction surrounding the exciting bond work in Bloomfield Hills Schools is well underway! A major milestone is the commencement of construction: the Groundbreaking Ceremonies! “North Hills Middle School” groundbreaking will be held at the site of former Lahser High School on Wednesday, May 26 at 5 p.m., and the “South Hills Middle School” groundbreaking will be held on Thursday, July 29, at 5 p.m., at Bloomfield Hills Middle School.

Bloomfield Hills Schools has Summer Camp opportunities for all ages, all abilities, and all interests! New this year, families have the option to select individual days, an entire week, and an option to pay for the entire summer.

This year, we anticipate the East Hills yearbooks will be delivered to the school during the last week of August.  We delayed the printing of the yearbooks this year to be able to include all of the in-person events, activities, and learning that occurred since our full return.  Please watch for information prior to the start of next school year regarding when to pick up your yearbook.
