Summer English Reading Lists
May 30, 2013
The Emmaus High School English Department has released the 2013 summer reading list. I strongly encourage each of you to preview the list with your child in order to select a book that is interesting and appropriate. The following statement appears at the top of each reading list: “In the English Department's attempt to provide rich and varied reading experiences for our students, we have selected titles for the summer reading lists written mostly by contemporary authors. Some selections are focused toward mature readers. We encourage parents to assist their children in selecting interesting, appropriate titles for their summer reading. Barnes and Noble’s website provides information including Lexile level, book reviews, and age levels for specific titles. If no age level is specified in the “Product Details” section on the Barnes and Noble site, the book may be focused toward mature readers for various reasons including mature themes or mature content. Barnes and Noble is suggested as a resource only, not an endorsement of any specific bookseller.

EHS Update – Preventing Future Disruptions
February 22, 2013
Message from Dr. Thomas L. Seidenberger, Superintendent of Schools:
While fully cooperating with the investigation being conducted by the Emmaus Borough Police, it is imperative that East Penn continues to maintain a calm and productive educational environment. There is a systematic and thorough approach to the investigative process which needs to run its course while the EHS administration continues to provide our students, faculty, and staff a learning environment free of distractions. Our objective is to always provide open and honest communication with our students, parents, faculty and staff. We will continue to speak with our students about their responsibilities as members of the school wide community, and ask them for their assistance in maintaining a safe and productive school environment. As parents, you can help us by speaking with your children about this incident, encouraging them to come forward with any helpful information and monitoring your child’s Facebook and Twitter accounts notifying us immediately if you discover any information that may help us to prevent future disruptions to the educational environment, as well as assist law enforcement in identifying any and all individuals involved.
