Dear ESMS Families,
Despite this crazy heat, we had a wonderful week with your children. Thank you for trusting us with their care.
Drop-off Information
In an effort to keep our students, staff and ESMS families safe during parent drop-off, we are asking families to please drop your student(s) off in the Seabreeze Avenue parking lot. Students must ALWAYS enter and exit vehicles along a sidewalk, and remain on a sidewalk as they enter the school building to ensure safety for all.
Please pull up as far as you possibly can and have your student(s) exit the car on the passenger side of the vehicle. We are asking that you pull ALL the way around the student drop off lot (past the bike rack). These measures will help us to ensure a safe and timely pick-up and drop-off for all of our ESMS families.
Please review this plan with your child. Thank you for your continued support and assistance.
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.

In honor of Veterans Day, ESMS students and staff would like to invite our family and friends who are veterans to visit our ESMS learning community on Friday, November 10 from 8:30-10:15 a.m. Our veteran guests will attend a ceremony and then share their experiences of patriotic and military service with a small group of students.
