Dear ESMS Families,
Happy Friday. I hope you are all enjoying this snow day - home safe and warm! Even though it was a short week, it was a busy week with three spirit days, after school clubs Tuesday and Thursday, and ski club last night! SO happy our skiers and snowboarders were able to get the trip in and they had a blast! All students returned safely and had so much fun on the mountain. A special thank you to our parent chaperones who help us make these trips happen.
According to the communication sent out from Dr. Cutaia, Monday, February 28 we will move to a mask optional environment in all of our public school buildings. Mr. Piselli and I spoke to all students, by grade level, to remind all that we are an inclusive, safe, caring learning community. We also reminded students that this is an individual choice, students are still required to wear masks on the bus, and reviewed our Value System of respect, accountability and safety. If you can spend a few minutes and discuss this with your child, we would appreciate that!
Please join us Tuesday night, March 1, at our ESMS PTA meeting (6:30 pm) and also our Parent University (6:00 pm).

Parent University is scheduled from 6:00 - 6:30 p.m. Join us virtually to discuss self care for students and families and to receive some helpful tips from our amazing support staff team.
