February 2  Family Weekly

February 2, 2024

Dear ESMS Families,

Happy Friday! Next week our PTA meets Tuesday evening at 6:30 in the Media Center. Please join us to learn more about what is happening at ESMS and ways to get involved! Also, a friendly reminder that Wednesday, February 7th, is an early release day for students while staff engage in professional learning. 

ESMS 4th Annual Career Day: We are looking for anyone who might be interested in sharing their career with our students. Our hope is that we might spark curiosity and interest within our young learners that might lead to a pursuit of a specific career pathway. Career day can have a significant impact on students by exposing them to a variety of career options and inspiring them to explore different pathways. We are in need of Career Day presenters and are hopeful you can help us out. If you are willing to share your career or know someone who might be interested in being a part of this awesome day for our kids. Please click here for more information. ESMS Career Day is Friday, May 24, at 1:00 pm.
