Dear ESMS Families,
Happy Friday! On Tuesday, February 7th at 6:00-6:30 pm, there will be an ESMS Parent University. This Parent University session is intended to provide you with support and an opportunity to learn how to use tools to engage your student in their own learning. Please click here for more information.
SCHOOL DANCE: We are working with a few awesome students in planning a school dance - how exciting for our kids! The date of the school dance is Friday, February 10, 6:00-8:00 in the ESMS Gym for only ESMS students. Click here to access the permission slip. This will also go home with all students on Monday in their backpack.
UPDATES FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL COUNSELING with Mrs. Rubino and Ms. Samuelson: Students who just wrapped up the Comprehensive School Counseling class this second semester completed a unit on Career Exploration. Our eighth graders completed the Career Key, which helps students to explore careers that match their personality, skills, and interests. All students completed a career project, which involved researching a career, including training/education required, median salary, job duties, hours, potential for promotions, and other jobs that you can do with training/certification. Students also engaged in research and/or an interview as part of this process. This is a great project to chat with your child about since career exploration is an integral part of their current development and supports planning for their future. It has been a pleasure working with and getting to know your children.
YEARBOOK: It's Yearbook time! Please use this link to order your child's copy of the 2022-2023 East Shore Yearbook. You can search by town or use ID code 6667423.

DOLPHIN DOLLARS: At ESMS we are proud of our students for following our value system by being accountable, staying respectful and being safe. To reward our students for this exemplary behavior we have implemented our Dolphin Dollar system which students can use to purchase items at our ESMS school store. In an effort to fully stock our school store, in conjunction with our AMAZING PTA, we are asking families to consider making a contribution.
