Happy Monday everyone! If you can believe it or not July ends this week and August 1st is Saturday! This time apart has gone by very quickly while at the same time it has seemed like forever since we have seen your kids. Many of us have already been eagerly anticipating the return of school and starting next week we will be getting ready for just that. Please check below for updates and info on Walkthrough/Registration as well as other useful updates. We hope you all have a safe and wonderful week!

MDUSD Roadmap to Reopening [NEW POST]
The Board of Education will be meeting tonight to vote on a discuss the upcoming school year. At the last board meeting, the district was directed to pursue and then present (tonight) on starting the school year with Distance Learning fully implemented.

2020-21 School Year Walkthrough
This year EDMS will be holding a Week of Walkthrough for our students and families. W.o.W. will be held Monday, August 3rd through Friday, August 7th. You will be receiving a postcard in the mail with the specific dates and times for your student's grade level and last name in addition to we will be sending out a special Walkthrough Edition of our newsletter this Friday. All county social distancing requirements will need to be followed and everyone entering campus must be wearing a mask. We will have parameters in place for moving through campus and only a certain number of people will be allowed on campus. We have purposefully built-in more hours for walkthrough to help accommodate peoples' schedules and to limit the number of people on campus at one time. More information will be coming to you this week. Stay tuned.
