On Thursday, March 5 at 8:30 a.m., there is a Bloomfield Hills Schools Bond Information Meeting in the East Hills Media Center.  There are a number of similar information meetings scheduled across the district in the weeks ahead.  Please visit https://www.bhsbond2020.com/ for more information - across the top of the website there are tabs including one for meetings dates and other important information about the bond.  

Friday, February 28 marks the halfway point of the third quarter.  During the week of March 2, teachers will complete progress reports for sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students. Once the reports are complete (usually around Wednesday), you will be able to review the progress report in MiStar.  Progress reports are paperless. If you would like a progress report mailed to your home, please contact the main office (248) 341-6200 or email Mrs. Bridges at kbridges@bloomfield.org

Please join us for our next PTO meeting Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the media center. Charlie Hollerith, Bloomfield Hills High School Principal, will be joining us to share information about the high school experience at BHHS!

There will be a school wide popcorn sale this week to raise money for the East Hills Cavalier Fund. Each bag of popcorn will be $1. Paid orders will be taken through classrooms beginning Wednesday, March 11 through Friday, March 13.  Bags will then be delivered to the classroom on Friday, March 13. Teachers will collect the orders and money the days leading up to the sale based on the elementary classroom or middle school hours of the day.

As we enter the final days of February, we will be starting the scheduling process for next year. Students in fifth grade, sixth grade, and seventh grade will receive their course selection sheets soon.  Fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-grade course selection sheets are due Friday, March 13. It is important that the course selections are turned in on time as it helps in preparing for next school year. If you have any questions, please contact your child's counselor.

Spotlight on Student Learning: 8th Grade Science Light and Sound Unit
This month, our 8th grade science students explored complex real-word problems through the inquiry lens of scientific and technical innovation.  After studying how light and sound travel, student groups designed a concert venue in close proximity to neighborhoods. They studied the impact of the lights and sounds from the venue on the surrounding populations, and created multiple design alternatives to meet the diverse needs of the community. This project was very student-driven, with teachers facilitating the inquiry process and supporting students’ independent learning.

Dear East Hills School Community:

This week was highlighted by our K-8 Eastover/East Hills Science Fair and Art Exhibit. It was a great night - it was so much fun talking to students about their projects and interests. Thank you to Libby Welch, Kelly Newell, Sally Walker, and so many community members and staff for their support of our students.

March is the time of year that we begin to plan and to collect information in preparation for next school year.  Please see the East Hills website regarding deadlines for middle school and high school course selection sheets.
