Everett High School Families:

We hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

February is Black History Month, which is a time to recognize the achievements, culture, and contributions of Black people throughout history. It promotes learning about diverse perspectives, fosters appreciation and respect in our community, and at EHS, each morning, we will highlight the accomplishments of an influential leader whose work made a lasting, positive impact on society.

The second academic quarter (semester 1) has been extended by two days due to the snow days last week. The second academic quarter (semester 1) will now end on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Please see the assessment calendar below for further details.

During MyCap on Monday, students in Grades 9, 10, and 11 will continue to choose courses for next school year.

This Wednesday (February 4, 2026) is a Late-Entry day for Teacher Professional Development. Please see the schedule below.

Lastly, this week is National School Counseling Week. This is an opportunity for the school community to honor our School Counselors.

Have a great week!

Thank you,
Dr. Braga

Bathroom Procedures

At Everett High School, the bathrooms are locked during the first and last 7 minutes of each class. Outside of these times, they remain unlocked and accessible. If a student needs to use the bathroom during those locked periods, the student can either:

Ask their classroom teacher to contact a school administrator to unlock it.
Ask for assistance from a staff member near the bathroom to unlock it.

While this is a new procedure for Everett High School, it is a common practice in many high schools. The bathrooms on the first floor are open throughout the day. We value your support in maintaining consistent procedures at Everett High School.

Attendance Updates

Everett High School will be eliminating the policy that assigns an E grade to students after a certain number of absences. Instead, we will implement a new policy emphasizing regular outreach to maintain consistent daily attendance. Attendance will continue to impact a student’s eligibility for summer school. Please see the updated attendance protocol below. These documents will be added to each weekly email.

Student Expectations

Personal Device Laptops and Computers

Students are encouraged not to bring personal laptops or computers to school, as every student should have a Chromebook. The school-issued Chromebook provides direct access to all necessary educational applications. If a student does not have a Chromebook, the student should contact their homeroom teacher. The technology department is located at Everett High School and can assist with any issues.
