East Orange School District Home

Greetings East Orange School District Community,

 

This letter serves as the Official Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! This morning, my goal was to welcome each of you in-person during our district's convocation at East Orange Campus High School. However due to the impact of Hurricane Ida and its record shattering rain levels and flood-ravaged landscapes last night, the convocation was canceled. Our goal has always been to prioritize the health and safety of our staff and students. To that end, we listened to the media outlets, state warnings, and to the universe. Yes, it has been disappointing but we all passed the first test of the school year - our ability to be flexible, adaptable, and resilient in the face of adversity. We did just that and beyond thanks to the convocation team members who burned the midnight oil working on communicating the cancellation to all of you in a matter of hours. #Team Work

Though we are working to reschedule the convocation in the future, I wanted to still share with you a few gems and takeaways that would have been noted today.
