Dear ESMS Families,
What an awesome first few days of school with your children. While it was only a quick three days, school is certainly in full swing. A special thank you to our ESMS PTA for the generous staff luncheon on Monday and for hosting our back-to-school ice social on Monday evening. Just another reason to get involved and be a part of our incredible ESMS PTA. If you would like to join the ESMS PTA please click here to access the membership form. We appreciate your partnership and support and hope to see you at our first meeting on Tuesday, October 3rd!
Hunger Action Month Fundraiser: The ESMS PTA, in association with Purple Pantry Boxes, will be collecting shelf-stable foods for the month of September. Please click here to view the Hunger Action Month flyer with more information.
Friendly Reminder: No Food or Drink on School Buses: Just a friendly reminder this year. Food and drinks are not allowed on our school buses when students are being transported to or from school. Consuming these items while in transit can cause a safety concern; your bus driver will be reminding you as the school year gets underway.

Thanks so much for your continued support. We want, need, and value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education! We look forward to a successful 2023-2024 school year and can’t wait to work with you and your children.
