Eastpointe Middle School's Community Newsletter
Mission
Eastpointe Middle School is committed to creating an academically rich community through challenging, inquiry-based instruction that cultivates knowledgeable, principled, reflective learners who are prepared to positively impact the global society.
Welcome Back to School Crusaders!
We Are So Glad You're Back!
The community newsletter, The Crusader, will be a regular source of information for the community and will be published monthly. Consider this first issue a miniature version just to get families up to speed with upcoming dates and important matters that need attention as we begin these first days of school. New versions will be published by the end of the first week of each new month throughout the school year. Any corrections to dates or schedules will also be posted in The Crusader, as well as on the school's website.
We look forward to seeing parents and students at our upcoming parent/student orientation, at the Back to School Open House event, and at our regular parent forums that will kick off the first week in October.
The entire staff at Eastpointe Middle School is excited to welcome you back to kick off this great year. As Crusaders, we are "marching toward excellence"!
