BRIDGES AT ESMS: We wanted to remind you of our collaboration with Bridges Healthcare, Inc to enhance the mental health support available to our students. Families are now able to get mental health support for their children through this school-based service. Please click here for additional information about this service along with contact information at ESMS.
Reminder: To ensure the safety and well-being of all our students, we ask that students refrain from bringing baked goods, candy, or any other food items from home to share with others.This policy is in place due to the increasing number of food allergies and sensitivities within our student body. We want to avoid any accidental exposure to allergens and ensure that all students are protected. Additionally, students sharing food creates disruption in the cafeteria. Please reinforce this message with your child to help maintain a safe lunch period.
One of the best ways to stay connected and see what’s happening in our classrooms is through X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, or Facebook. We do our best to capture and share moments from our students’ day. We’d love for you to follow us! Click the icons below to access the 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 us anytime at lswanson@milforded.org or Mr. Genova at jgenova@milforded.org, or by phone at 203-783-3559.
