Parent Satisfaction: Goals and Strategic Actions
The top two highest-rated indicators are:
- "My family is treated with respect at this school"
- "The principal at this school is approachable and reachable"
The top two opportunities for improvement are:
- "I regularly received feedback from the school about how my child is learning"
- "I receive positive messages from the school about my child"
Our staff have built an action plan to overcome the bottom two lowest-rated indicators; you will see an improvement in how we provide you with feedback about your students' learning as well as how frequently you may be receiving positive messages from EMS about your student.
Math iReady Diagnostic Assessment
It is very important that your student try their best and answer truthfully and honestly throughout the assessment because individualized instruction is developed from the results of this tool.
We will provide you with more information during a Facebook Live Webinar on Thursday 1/21 at 6:15pm.

EMS Wellness Center Appointments
Estacada Middle School has a Wellness Center! Students attending EMS's Wellness Center are provided a time for structured, individualized breaks in the academic day to tend to the social, emotional, and academic well-being of the student. Students meet with our Wellness Center coordinator who guides students through lessons. For example:
I can name four benefits to having self-control:
a) Self-control helps you achieve goals
b) Self-control enables better resilience to life challenges
c) Self-control is beneficial for our physical health
d) Self-control helps you build stronger relationships
If you'd like to learn more or schedule your student for an appointment, please contact: traceys@estacada.k12.or.us.

Zoom and Canvas Training for Families!
A team of community members is working together to provide helpful Zoom and Canvas training to Estacada families as we complete 2020 and begin 2021. This training is simple, free, and can be done at home. Our goal is to support Estacada families in learning how to use Zoom and the Estacada School District Canvas system. You can request a one hour training session by e-mailing zoomtraining@antfarmyouthservices.com or call 503-668-9955 and ask for Robin or Becca.
Please share this opportunity with your friends and family. We would love to support anyone in Estacada struggling with how use Zoom and create more success for our community in walking through the Covid-19 pandemic!

Excused Absences
Regardless of their excused absence, your student will continue to be required to submit any work that was missed at the soonest possible opportunity.
We are flexible and here to support you, but we also need to ensure that your student is providing us with evidence of their progress to meet our essential learning standards.
Unexcused Absences
1.Participate meaningfully in class activities (Fully complete school work, speak up in Zoom sessions, ask questions of their teachers on Zoom and/or in Canvas and finish and submit responses to assignments and/or surveys)
2.Communicate with their teacher or another staff member for each period they attend by responding to their teacher's prompts, sending a private message via Canvas or email about the task or assignment if they are not participating live. This communication is not simply saying, "I'm here." It must show a greater level of engagement to count toward being present that day.
If your student has difficulty accessing videos, Zoom meetings or assignments, please have them email their teacher as soon as possible to receive suggestions for how to resolve the issue, so they can be marked present for that class.
See Teacher contact information below.
