Duluth East 9th Grade
Open House

Wednesday, February 8th, 2023

5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
Presentation at 5:00 p.m.*
Duluth East High School Auditorium

East High School will be hosting an Open House for incoming 9th grade students (current 8th graders) and their parents/guardians on Wednesday, February 8th, 2023, from 5:00 - 6:30p.m.
At the Open House, students and families will attend a presentation given by school counselors and administrators, followed by an opportunity to tour the building. The presentation will include information on high school graduation requirements, academic course offerings for the 2023-24 school year, procedures for online registration and additional information on what to expect and how to access resources as students transition to high school. Tours will be offered by current Hound Pack Leaders, or you can explore the building on your own.
Following the tour you are invited to stay and be a part of the “Greyhound Experience” by attending the boys varsity basketball game vs. Forest Lake. Students attending open house get in FREE with a paid adult and will have the opportunity to see firsthand some of the amazing activities East has to offer! This is a great opportunity to spark school spirit within your student before their high school career begins!
We highly encourage students and parents/guardians to attend this informational evening.

We look forward to hosting the Class of 2027 and their families!

*Presentation will be at 5:00 p.m. in the Duluth East High School Auditorium. Families who can not tour after the presentation are welcome to come early at 4:30 p.m. and tour prior to the presentation. For questions, please contact the Duluth East Counseling Office at 218-336-8845 Ext. 2143.

Attendance Procedures & Information 

Students begin their school day at 8:45AM and end the day at 3:15PM.  

If your child is going be absent or tardy for any reason, please contact the school at
218-336-8940 ext. 4201 or email ordeanattendance@isd709.org.  For your convenience, the Attendance Hotline is available 24 hours a day. If you are unable to call that day, please send a written note explaining the absence upon the student’s return. This note should include the date(s) of absence, the reason of the absence, the parent/guardian signature, and a phone number where the parent/guardian can be reached for possible verification. Failure to notify the school by phone or with a written explanation of your child’s absence will result in an unexcused absence.

Students leaving early MUST come to the office with a note before school to get a pass to leave. Due to the volume of calls each day, we ask that families not call during the day to ask for a pass to be sent. This is disruptive to the classroom and we may not be able to deliver it in time.

If the student does not have a note then the parent/guardian will need to come into the front office to sign out the student, at which time we will call the student to the office. All students coming or going during the day MUST sign in or out through the front office.
