Dear Parents/Guardians,

As a reminder, any student that requires a medication, as needed medications/inhalers, or emergency medications that need to be kept at the nurse's office, or inhalers/epi-pens that are carried by students must have an order from the doctor to be given by the School Nurse. The parent/guardian must bring the medication to the nurse, along with the order signed by their doctor and parent/guardian.

Also, to all 10th grade parents/guardians, please have students turn in their updated physicals with the immunization sheet attached by September 20, 2023. Please schedule a physical for your child if one was not recently done. The School Based Health Center may be able to schedule a physical sooner if you are unable to get an appointment prior to this date. You can reach the clinic at 203-468-2367. Per the state of Connecticut, a physical is required during their 10th grade year and students will be excluded from school without one. Any questions, please contact me at 203-468-3271.

Thank you,

Mrs. Tara Raffone

School Nurse, RN, BSN

• Instructional-leader approved level changes
• Dropping an elective for a study hall (if sufficient credits are met)
• Adding a class in place of a study hall

Attention parents/guardians:

This will be the East Haven High School’s Parent Teacher Organization's (EHHS PFO), second year as a group. Last year we had a blast hosting the Harlem Wizard basketball team play against the school & members of the community! We also hosted a teacher appreciation at the end of the year.

The PFO is ready for the new school year! The group has been brainstorming new events for the students and teachers. There may be a scholarship awarded to a student this year. That is why we are looking for new members to help us make this all possible!

We’re planning on attending the town’s fall festival on Friday, 9/8 & Saturday, 9/9. Feel free to stop by and see us!

See our membership form attached below or linked here to join this fantastic group!

Any questions, email us at ehhspfo@gmail.com and follow our Facebook Group @EHHSPFO.

We look forward to another great school year!

Sincerely,

The Members of the EHHS PFO

In an effort to streamline the ticket purchasing process and to align with the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC), East Haven High School has transitioned to a digital process to purchase tickets to our events.

As such, EHHS is no longer accepting cash for athletic event tickets. We are now utilizing the fully digital GoFan platform. Downloading the app will allow for easier access to home games and many away venues and all playoff events as well.

Please see the image below with a QR code for the East Haven link.

Senior citizens 65 and older are free. Ticket prices are now $6 for adults and $3 students.
