  • Currently EGHS is #1 ranked public high school in RI for attendance so far this year per RIDE data. Parents and Guardians are definitely calling in to excuse absences more frequently this year, which we greatly appreciate. However, old habits don’t disappear overnight so there is still room for improvement this year, so please be sure to call your student in for each day they are absent. Our thanks in advance.
  • Be on the lookout for attendance related texts and email alerts from Dr. Heath
  • Feel free to reach out if you have attendance questions or concerns regarding your student’s class/daily attendance

Thank you...

Good afternoon. I would just like to say thank you to everyone at EGHS for a great start to this school year. From new student orientation on Monday night straight through to last period of the day today, I have observed and interacted with so many students and found them all to be outgoing, kind and insightful. In short, they have been true Avengers! Thank you to all of the students, faculty, staff, PTG volunteers, parents and guardians who made this year's start go so smoothly for so many.

A few links...

1. The EGHS website has been updated with a few important documents and links such as the student handbook, the summer mailing, program of studies, the new ASPEN login page, the bullying and harassment reporting form, and an updated slideshow of introducing many of this year's faculty, staff and administration. Please visit https://www.egsd.net/schools/east-greenwich-high-school to view any of the documents listed above.

2. A reminder that Chromebook loan agreements are needed from all students and can be turned into the main office. Also, Chromebook insurance from WorthAve group is voluntary but needs to be renewed annually. You can purchase insurance online via https://www.worthavegroup.com/portal/egsdri

Good afternoon Avengers! This email is to let you know that the summer mailing has been sent, but you don't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. While the physical mailing should be arriving to the home address on file in ASPEN in the next few days, below you will find a pdf. file of this year's mailing.

In addition to the pdf file below you will also find links to some documents and resources to help support both you and the programs that support students at EGHS. Regardless of whether you use digital or printed copies, please be sure to fully read and fill out the contents of the summer mailing as it contains critical information and a few required actions necessary to begin the new school year on a positive note. Our thanks in advance for your help and cooperation.
