Parent/Teacher Conferences will be on Monday, February 22nd from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM and Tuesday, February 23rd from 3:05 PM -5:45 PM. All conferences must be scheduled through My Conference Time.
You have three conference options: a TEAMS virtual meeting, a phone call, or face to face. We highly recommend TEAMS or a phone conference to reduce the amount of contact. Conferences are scheduled for 10 minutes with 5 minutes in-between to disinfect. If you choose face to face, only two adults and the student(s) will be allowed into East High School. Everyone must wear a mask.
We sent a link to My Conference Time to your email and your child’s email. Please follow the step by step instructions, provided with the link, to schedule your conference time. You will be able to schedule a time with as many of your child’s teachers as needed. The system will do it's best to give you options for times with all of the selected teachers close together.
Students should have finished registration for classes next year. Please look over the Verification Sheet of those classes your child has chosen. This is a great opportunity to discuss their post-secondary future and take advantage of all the college and career and technical credits students can receive in high school.
East High School’s goals this year are:
1) Raise the percent of students proficient on the math subtest of the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021 by 7%.
2) Raise the percent of students’ proficient on Open Response from fall to spring by 10%.

A Note from our Nurse Regarding 11th Grade Students
Parents of 11th grade students:
There are new requirements for your student’s immunization status at school, please read the following so you know what you will need to obtain for your child so you can fill the needed requirements before the start of the 2021/2022 school year.
Effective January 11, 2017, the change requires a one-time dose of meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccine received on or after 10 years of age for applicants in grades 7 and above, if born after September 15, 2004; and 2 doses of meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccines for applicants in grade 12, if born after September 15, 1999; or 1 dose if received when applicants are 16 years of age or older. There is no grace period for this and it needs to be done prior to the school year.
Meningococcal disease caused by any serogroup is very serious. Approximately 10 to 15% of people with meningococcal disease die even with appropriate treatment. Of those who recover, up to 20% suffer from serious after-effects, such as permanent hearing loss, limb loss, or brain damage. Meningococcal vaccines are very safe and effective at preventing meningococcal disease. The meningococcal vaccine is 85 – 100% effective at preventing infection from the subtypes of meningococcus found in the vaccine. The National Immunization Survey (NIS) Teen, 2015 results indicate 75% of Iowa adolescents 13-17 years of age have received one dose the Meningococcal (A, C, W, and Y) vaccine. The national average for one dose of meningococcal vaccine is 81.3%. The meningococcal secondary school vaccine requirement will help Iowa achieve and maintain high adolescent vaccine coverage levels, protecting the health of adolescents, friends, families, and communities.
What does this mean for you? You will need to call your physician’s office and make an appointment for the meningitis vaccine. Most students do not have this requirement met as it is new. You will need to check your home records with the dates above, or call your physician’s office to see what your status is. If you have no insurance, you may call the Siouxland District Health Department at 279-6119 to schedule an appointment. Some of you may have received this vaccine but not given a copy to East High as it was not required, so if you have received it within the dates above please send a copy to school. Any records can also be faxed to East High at 712- 274-4670 with attention to the school nurse. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

School Nurse, East High School

Communication and Preparedness
Student and staff safety is of paramount importance in the Sioux City Community School District. For this reason, the District exercises a host of crisis prevention and planning tactics. Should an emergency occur, the school notifies you through our Blackboard phone system. In an emergency, the system calls every phone number associated with your child in order to reach you. The message will give you details about the emergency and provide directions on when/where to pick up your child if the normal school day is altered. Learn more about school safety.
