MEWA Announcements: June 2015

The Metro East Web Academy provides a technology-rich 21^st century learning model that ensures student success in a rapidly evolving learning, work, and community environment.

Dear parents and students:

MEWA Parents and Students -- Remember High School Graduation is June 8th at East Hill Church in Gresham, 7:00 PM!! Remember that MEECA and GED are part of the MEWA graduation! Graduation practice is at noon at the East Hill Church. The 8th grade promotion ceremony is at 5:00 PM at the East Hill Church.

It's time to start thinking about graduation on June 8th! Most importantly, MEWA (Remember, MEECA students are MEWA students) gives away two scholarships: We will draw one name from graduates in attendance the night of the ceremony for The Founders Scholarship of $1,000! For students who attend our graduation practice earlier in the day of the ceremony, we will draw one name for The Keller-Sievers Scholarship Award of $500!

Reminder Seniors (MEECA students are MEWA students):

If you still need the essential skill of math there will be only one more opportunity for you.

It is:

Saturday, June 6th 12pm to 2pm

Please RSVP to Mrs. Riehl @ riehl@mewebacademy.org or call/text to 503-489-7723
- Time to get your pictures in for the graduation slide show. Even if you won't be walking, send in a current picture. Take 2 minutes, have a friend take a picture with their smart phone and text it to clayton2@mewebacademy.org. This is for all MEWA students which include MEECA and GED students.

The counselors have begun forecasting for next year, please contact your counselor to set up an appointment to discuss and plan your classes for next year!

Upcoming --- Change to Trimester Schedule

Metro East Web Academy is excited to announce that it will be moving to a trimester schedule during the 2015-2016 school year.

The trimester schedule will allow students to possibly earn more credits throughout the school year. This schedule will better align with the MHCC quarter schedule and will allow MEECA students to take advantage of MEWA College Now and other course offerings at MEWA! It will also allow us to clearly define holidays as well as areas of study in need of extra focus and attention.

We are thrilled to offer this change and believe it will be a good fit for our MEWA students.

First Trimester: September 8-December 17
Second Trimester: January 4-March 17
Third Trimester: March 28th-June 16th

More Info Coming Soon...

Final call for reading and writing work samples! If you are a senior planning to graduate this year but still need to complete reading or writing work samples, please get in touch with Christina Struyk-Bonn at struyk@mewebacademy.org before June 6th so we can make sure you have everything in place for graduation. This is for all MEWA/MEECA students.

Summer School!!

It's hard to believe, but Summer School is coming up fast! This year MEWA is offering both Credit Recovery and Original Credit in two 5-week sessions. All area high school students are eligible to enroll in summer school. To find out what classes are available, and enroll in Summer School, visit the MEWA website and follow the tab for Summer School Registration.

All students enrolled in Summer School will have access to an open lab here on the MEWA campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10a to 2p, during all 10 weeks. These labs will be staffed by a teacher and teacher assistants on both days. These times are optional for students, but will provide additional support for those who may need it.

Community Gardening-- Earn Community Service Hours or Extended Study Are you interested in gardening, and want to earn some community service hours or extended study? MEWA needs help tending to our community garden plot this spring and summer! The garden needs an overhaul, so be willing to put in work and get a little dirty while you are giving back to the community. If you are interested in helping to plan and plant, contact Ms Hathaway.
