Hello Amazing Titans!
We miss you and please know that your East Tech family loves you very much. We all had an inkling that there was a high possibility that we would not be returning to our building this school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, when it was announced late yesterday afternoon, everyone began to question what the physical end of year/closing of school would look like. I want to say thank you in advance for your patience and understanding, as there are quite a few unknowns at this point.
