Dear ESMS Families,
We had a wonderful week at ESMS and have a short week ahead of us next week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope this time will be used for the members of our learning community to connect with family and friends over the extended weekend. I am always grateful but it seems around this time of year I tend to pause, take stock, and recognize the blessings in my life more often. Thank you for your continued kindness, support, and care for our entire ESMS learning community. We value your partnership and involvement in your child’s education.
Just a reminder, Monday and Tuesday are regular school days and Wednesday is an early release schedule for all middle school students, with a 12:45 dismissal. Also, the winter weather certainly is here, please remind your children to bundle up. I know I battle my own son to wear a coat every morning!
ESMS Spirit Wear: As the holiday season rapidly approaches we are excited to be able to offer our ESMS families a chance to purchase some amazing ESMS spirit wear! Click here to view available merchandise and to access the spirit wear order form. All orders must be in by December 10. Our hope is that despite current shortages and supply chain issues all merchandise will be in prior to our holiday recess however we cannot commit to a specific delivery date.
ESMS PTA: Click here to access the 21-22 PTA Membership Form and click here to access PTA meeting dates. Our next PTA meeting is Tuesday, December 7 - hope to see you all there!
Picture Retake: Please note that Lifetouch has informed us of a date change for picture retakes. Retake day at ESMS will now be November 23 and not November 10. If your child was absent for picture day or is not happy with their photo, picture retakes are on Tuesday, November 23.
If you do not follow us on Twitter please be sure to do so - this is a great way to see what is going on and exciting happenings at ESMS.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s team leader, teacher, 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
