Dear ESMS Families,
Thank you to our grade eight musicians and families for being a part of our ESMS Music Night last night - what a wonderful evening together! Our kids did fantastic with lockers and are pros with opening and closing using their combinations, for the most part. The kids are excited about the use of the lockers and feel much “lighter” walking the halls with less books and materials in hand!

Picture Retake: If your child was absent for picture day or is not happy with their photo, picture retakes are on Wednesday, November 10.
WORLD KINDNESS WEEK - We will celebrate this at ESMS on Friday, November 12. While we expect all of our students and staff to embody the East Shore Way and exemplify our values of safety, accountability and respect, all the time, we will engage in some fun activities throughout the day to recognize World Kindness Day.
Thanks For Giving Scouts Annual Food Collection - Please help ESMS collect cans and non-perishable food items to donate to our local scouts of Milford (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Ventures) 17th Annual Food Drive. Click here to view more information including suggested donation items.
Donated items are being collected on Friday, November 12.
To minimize the handling of donations, boxes will be positioned outside the main entrance on Chapel Street and at the parent drop off entrances on Seabreeze Avenue.
Boxes will be clearly marked with signs that say, “DROP FOOD DONATIONS HERE."
Students can bring their food donations to school and drop them in the collection boxes before entering the building.
If you do not follow us on Twitter please be sure to do so - this is a great way to see what is going on and exciting happenings at ESMS.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s team leader, teacher, and of course, always feel free to call or email me anytime at scarlson@milforded.org or Mr. Piselli at dpiselli@milforded.org, or by phone at 203-783-3559.
Thanks so much for your continued understanding, communication, and support. We want, need, and value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education!
