Happy Monday everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend and remembered to 'Spring' your clocks forward on Sunday. Thank you to everyone who came out to support EDMS at our Dine and Donate event at Panda Express. Lines were out the door for most of the night so thank you all!
With the spreading news surrounding the Corona Virus, please be sure to talk with your kids about washing their hands and staying healthy. Also, if your child has a fever or has flu like symptoms, please be sure to monitor them and/or keep them home. With that being said, our teachers have asked for donations of cleansing wipes and Kleenex to ensure a healthy and clean classroom. If you are able and would like to donate, you may bring items to the office and we will distribute to our teachers. You can find our district-wide response to the Corona Virus on our district website here.
Please remember there will be no school next Monday, March 16th, for a teacher in service day. Please check below for more details and have a great week!
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.
