Student Engagement Roll-out
What? Students identified by their peers were selected to council our administration about what is working well and what needs improvement at EMS. Mr. Kelley "rolled out" the highest and lowest-rated indicators in our school's student engagement survey.
How? Students voted on the highest-leverage actions we can begin to implement now based off the student-generated list. The lowest-rated indicators we are working to improve are: a) Learning is fun at my school and b) Students treat each other with respect at my school.
Virtual Snow School Days Are Coming
As winter weather approaches, our district is prepared to transition in-person learning to distance learning to keep school going even during inclement weather. This means that instead of having no school during snow days, your child’s academic progress won’t skip a beat. Students will transition to virtual learning.
Prepare your children by ensuring that they are bringing their school device home every evening, and contact your child’s school if you need a hotspot or additional support to ensure that you have home internet access.
Parent-Teacher Virtual Conferences
EMS will be utilizing zoom links to host 10-minute conferences. To sign up for a 10-minute time slot, you will use PTCfast.
Sign-ups will begin on Sunday, November 14, one week prior to the onset of conferences. Please see the image below to learn about what to expect.
