NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS
We Are Overflowing!!
Have you lost a pair of AirPods? A Hydroflask? Your favorite Athleta sweatpants? We have numerous of these items and more!
Stop by the tables outside the Library during Advise this Wednesday to find your lost items. Items that are not picked up before Winter Break will be donated to our Sources of Strength clothing drive.
Sources of Strength Donation Drive
Join our Sources of Strength student ambassadors in their efforts to collect items that will enrich the lives of those who are impacted by domestic violence in our local community.
Items may be dropped off with Mrs. Leifer in the Main Office through Monday, December 20th.
AP Moot Court
Open Tomorrow, Monday December 13th
It’s time to EnrollJeffco! Enrollment for the 2022-23 school year opens tomorrow. It’s helpful to let us know you’re coming back next year, so that the District can prepare for next year’s staffing, budget, resources, and more for our school. Visit enrolljeffco.org to learn more.
Due to security vulnerabilities impacting systems worldwide this weekend, out of an abundance of caution, Jeffco Public Schools has temporarily disabled external access to some of our applications including EnrollJeffco. We are postponing the opening of Round 1 EnrollJeffco. EnrollJeffco will open as soon as the current technical issue is resolved. All applications received before the close of Round 1 (currently 1/14/22) will be included in the lottery process for the 2022/23 school year.
Family engagement is a critical element of school culture and student success. The Family-School Partnership survey is open through Tuesday, December 21.
Student and Family Supports
What Happens to the Technology We Replace with Mimios at EHS
All of the projectors and smart boards we are replacing with cutting-edge Mimio Touchscreens here at EHS get returned to the district and will be redistributed to schools who need it.
So, while we make improvements here in our school, other Jeffco schools are also seeing improvements to their programs and inventories.
Nothing goes to waste, and many benefit all around.
Warren Tech
Applications are opening December 13th on Enroll Jeffco!
Everything concerning the new EJ application process is located on the WT Website.
Please Note:
o WT has a longer Round 1 Enrollment window deadline than all other Jeffco Schools, ending February 11, 2022.
This allows for students and families to experience Warren Tech at our Open House and align their decision-making based off of their home high school choices.
o All applications between 12/13/21 and 2/11/22 receive equal consideration in the 1st round .
o There are no longer first and second application choices. On the EJ application, students may choose one or two programs.
o The WT Website has the most up-to-date, detailed acceptance process information. Please refer to the WT website if you have questions as to how students are prioritized for acceptance (under the Application & Enrollment FAQ).
Seniors!

EHS must send all documents (transcripts & letters of recommendation) by December 21st. Have questions, see your EHS counselor or Mrs. Anderson in the College & Career Center.
