East Shore Middle School

Dear ESMS Families, 

What a wonderful week at ESMS. Thank you to all of our Veterans who attended our ESMS ceremony this morning. In recognition of Veterans Day, we were lucky enough to have over 25 Veterans here with us this morning for breakfast and a very special ceremony to honor and recognize each one of them! Our band and 6th grade chorus performed and sounded INCREDIBLE! Our Veterans spent 20-30 minutes in individual classrooms telling their story and allowing our students to ask questions. What a valuable way for our students to learn about the significance of Veterans Day - ask your children about this meaningful experience. 

Thank you to the generosity of our PTA for making the Veteran breakfast extra special. We appreciate you!

A MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT-  If your student attends high school football games, please remind them of the expected behavior: no noise makers or personal athletic balls are allowed in games. Security will confiscate any of these that they see at the gate. It is also important to note behavior at games. Students are there to support the Foran High School football team and/or band. Running around the stands and disruptive behavior will not be permitted at games to ensure safety.

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.
