Parent Learning Series (Open House): Rescheduled to 10/5
What? Parent Learning Series - We invite you to learn about your students' schedule and how they are being measured at EMS. EMS is cancelling 9/14 and will continue to host on 10/5.
How? We will host a virtual Open House and Learning Series beginning on October 5. You will use your student's Chromebook to access Zoom classrooms and to listen to - and ask questions to - teachers describe your student's classroom experience.
Medication at School
Because of Covid precautions we need to limit individuals coming into our school. If you need to fill out a form or turn in a filled out form please come to the main entrance and ring the bell.
For medications that need counted and checked in please contact Brandy Cavett at cavettb@estacada.k12.or.us to schedule a time prior to when your student needs to take their medication. Please do not allow your student to carry medication on them at school without the proper paperwork filled out.
Chromebook Reminders!
Reminder: The Chromebook is to travel with your student to and from school, daily. It is expected and necessary for your student to bring their Chromebook home each day in the case of an unexpected requirement to quarantine.
Reminder: The Chromebook charger is to stay at home so your student can charge their Chromebook each night prior to school on the next day.
Face Coverings at EMS

Will Your Student Have to Quarantine? Yes, potentially.
EMS has a responsibility to limit the transmission of COVID19 in school. To limit the transmission (not eliminate), these are the core safety measures:
--One-way hallways
--Mandatory mask-wearing
--3' physical distancing where and when appropriate
--Improved ionized air filtration systems
--Multiple lunchroom spaces, including outdoor eating
--Hand-sanitizing stations in each classroom and wipe-out-of-desk procedures
--Contact-tracking and seating arrangements
--Individual Chromebooks
--Quarantine and Isolation procedures
Please do not send your student to school if you or your student are unwell. If your student becomes sick we will notify you. And, if your student tests positive for COVID19, we need your help to ensure we can quarantine all close contacts your student has had while at school. Quarantine and Isolation procedures are a responsible and effective way to discontinue additional outbreaks at school. Be honest and communicate with us when you have questions.
