Hello and welcome to pirateTV. I’m Juliet Arana

And I’m Willow Glauser.

Welcome back to the first newscast of the 2024-2025 school year. 

(b)Let’s get started! 

We want to emphasize the new policies in all classes this year… the big one… no cell phones are to be out during instruction time.

School administration want you to know that this is important because you should learn to redirect your attention to the lesson instead of social media. Principal Nate Smith tells us more.

We will have our annual Powder Puff women’s football game during Homecoming Week. Those interested in playing need to sign up in TEC Library by Tuesday, September 3. There will be a practice session for participants. 

(b) It’s that time of year again to celebrate being a pirate. Our Homecoming Dance will be on Saturday, September 14, from 7:00-10:00 pm @ EHS Commons.  Please note that a few of our policies have changed for the 24-25 school year.

Per our Attendance Policy, students must have an attendance rate of 75% or above for the current semester in order to attend the dance. Attendance will be reviewed one week prior to the dance. Students with 75% attendance or higher will receive a voucher that will allow them to purchase a dance ticket during lunch or after school at the entrance to TEC library.  All tickets must be purchased in advance. We will not be selling tickets at the door. Additionally, students who have an attendance rate of 95% or higher will get into the dance for free.  We will distribute vouchers and free tickets to students on Tuesday, September 10 during first period. Students without a first period will need to get their vouchers from their Seminar Mentor.  Students who are eligible to attend may bring a date from another school.
