ESMS DRAMA CLUB INFO- Please click here for information on the upcoming Drama meeting on October 1st. This meeting is for the parent(s)/guardian(s) ONLY, of any student interested in being a part of the cast or crew.
EMERGENCY DRILLS- Conducting emergency drills (fire, crisis, lockdown, etc.) is one of the most important ways we enhance our preparedness for students and staff during an emergency. Drills allow us to practice what we must do when an emergency arises in our school. Please discuss the importance of our emergency drills with your children. If you have any feedback, please contact Mr. Genova or Dr. Carlson. We thank you for your cooperation and partnership with making our schools a safer place for learning.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR- From October 14 through October 17, ESMS will be having a book fair. We will be open during conferences and during the school day! All purchases through the Book Fair benefit students at East Shore Middle School. Thanks for supporting our kids. Click here for more information.
One of the best ways to stay connected and see what is happening in the classroom is through X (formerly Twitter), Instagram or FB. We try our best to capture as much of our kiddos as we can throughout the day. Please follow us! Click on the below icons to access ESMS Instagram (IG), FaceBook (FB), and X accounts:
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s team leader and of course, always feel free to call or email me anytime at scarlson@milforded.org or Mr. Genova at jgenova@milforded.org, or by phone at 203-783-3559.
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 2024-2025 school year and can’t wait to work with you and your children.
