- Open House has been scheduled and emailed to families. Kindergarten and 6th graders, along with new to ERA middle school and freshmen will have separate events.
- AP scores have been released. We had several tests that had a 100% pass rate! Overall, the
scores were impressive with a small section that needs improvement. 61% pass rate with 365 tests taken. - We have our athletic banners up in the gym so stop by and see them when you can!
