Dear ESMS Families,
Thank you to all of the families who attended our first PTA meeting of the 21-22 school year. We are grateful for the continued support. If you have not yet joined our amazing PTA and wish to, please click here to access the 21-22 PTA Membership Form.
A heartfelt thank you to our ESMS community for their generosity. All three middle schools and two high schools sold lanyards to raise money for the September 11 Tribute Center. East Shore's contribution to this fund was $519! A true testament to the kindness and charitable nature of our ESMS community.
We cannot wait to meet our families at our Open House on Tuesday, September 21 from 6:00 - 8:00. This will be a virtual evening for our families and staff. Click HERE for all Open House information.
You do not want to miss out on our weekly LIVE video - we call School It! Check it out here!

COVID 19 Information: When a school receives notification of a possible positive COVID-19 case there may be times particularly when we are notified after school hours or on weekends, that families will be sent an email indicating that their child is to stay home the next school day and that a school nurse will contact the family to discuss the matter and provide guidance on what happens.
Music Course Selection: Now that we are settling into the school year and schedules are being adjusted and finalized, we ask that families submit all final music course selections for the 21-22 academic year no later than Friday, September 24, 2021.
Touchless Bottle Fillers: MPS has installed touchless bottle fillers in our schools in order to provide a safer way for our students to stay healthy and hydrated throughout the school day. Please feel free to send your student(s) to school with a reusable water bottle that they will be able to refill as necessary during the school day.
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. Piselli at dpiselli@milforded.org, or by phone at 203-783-3559.
Thanks so much for your continued understanding, communication, and support. We want, need, and value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education!
Shannan Carlson, Principal Donato Piselli, Assistant Principal
