It will be held on May 13 this year, and students will participate in volunteer hours in the morning, and fun activities in the afternoon. No Keystone testing or AP Exams will be held on this day.
By: Sierra Miller Staff Writer At the beginning of the second semester, several classrooms in the Elizabethtown Area High School began using a new system called e-hallpass. According Robert Crick, high school assistant principal, the “objective of e-hallpass is to provide a system by which students and staff can effectively utilize ‘passes’ in a 1:1 (Chromebook) learning environment.” Currently, the system is only being piloted, but after the 1:1 Personalized Learning Initiative is implemented next year, and every high school student has a Chromebook, e-hallpass will be incorporated throughout the entire high school. The middle school is currently using the e-hallpass system.
