#ToroFamily
Happy Monday Toro Family! We hope you all are enjoying your 3 day weekend (if you have one). We are already near the end of January and heading into February and it is going fast. First-semester report cards were mailed home earlier last week, so please be on the lookout for them in the mail. Please join us this week on Wed night at 6:00pm for our district-wide speaker series as we are hosting here at EDMS. More information is below.
7th/8th Grade Winter Ball
Our annual Winter Ball is this Friday 1/24 5-7 p.m. for 7th and 8th graders only. This is a semi-formal event students are encouraged to dress up. Tickets are currently being sold during lunch for $3 and all students must turn in a signed permission slip that is available in the office.
Cell Phones: Parents, please remind students about our school cell phone policy that phones are ONLY allowed before and after school, not during. Phones need to be out of sight and silent during the school day. As always, if you need to get a hold of your student please call the office and do not text them. We can get messages to your students quickly if needed. If students need to call home they should come to the office to do so.
