Dear ESMS Families,

Thank you to all of the ESMS families who attended our first PTA meeting this past Tuesday night. I continue to be in awe at the incredible support and partnership of our families. We are excited to welcome you to ESMS for our Open House on Monday, September 19 at 6:00. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet your student’s teachers and experience what a typical school day looks like for your children. Our amazing PTA will have a table set up where you can become a member or make a donation and be entered into a raffle for some great prizes. If you are not able to attend Open House but would still like to join the ESMS PTA please click here to access the membership form or click here to join or donate online.

In honor of Veterans Day, ESMS students and staff would like to invite our family and friends who are veterans to visit with the ESMS learning community on Friday, November 11 from 8:30-10:15 am. Our veteran guests will attend a ceremony and then share their experiences of patriotic and military service with a small group of students. If you have a veteran family member who would like to attend please click here to access our Veterans Day flyer which can be completed and submitted to your student’s Social Studies teacher by Tuesday, November 1.

One of the best ways to stay connected and see what is happening in the classroom is through Twitter, Insta or FB. We try our best to capture as much of our kiddos as we can throughout the day.

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 2021-2022 school year and can’t wait to work with you and your children.
