FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Eppler Parents or Guardians,

Eppler Junior High School has an exciting opportunity to continue to offer computer science next year. We are investing in our students by partnering with Microsoft Philanthropies TEALS to offer our Introduction to Computer Science course.

As a TEALS partner school, Eppler Junior High School needs technical volunteers to team-teach this course with our teacher. We will hold the course first period, allowing volunteers to go to work after volunteering. If you work in tech and would be interested in making a difference in our students’ future success, please contact Ms. Matteo at joanna.matteo@uticak12.org or apply at Microsoft.com/TEALS.

Please forward this to technical industry professionals in your network. You can read more about the TEALS Program on their website at Microsoft.com/TEALS.

Thank you!

Jerry Pantano
Principal

Recycling

NJHS is continuing to sponsor a recycling fundraiser in partnership with PlanetGreen. They have made a few changes and they are no longer accepting large toner cartridges. Please do not send in the toner cartridges. They do accept:
 Inkjet cartridges
 Cell phones
 GPS
 MP3
 IPods
 Cameras
 E-readers
 Calculators
 Tablets
 Video games, consoles, accessories
It helps Eppler earn money and it helps the landfills! NJHS students can earn hours for donating items, but anyone can bring these items to room 19. Thank you for your support! Please check out PlanetGreenRecycling.com for more information.
