GENERAL INFORMATION & UPDATES
Winter Spirit Week! November 27 - December 2
Time to Check Grades!
Parents and Students,
We're over half way through Quarter 2 and the semester ends 12/22. Students' academic progress is always available to view on PowerSchool and in-progress academic standing. Grades are only final for the classes in which the term has ended. The goal of this communication is to create additional open communication between students, teachers, and parents before grades become finalized. Each student will receive a report card and GPA at the end of each semester.
Athletic Events - Spectator Reminder
The exceptions are Bison Fan Days:
- 12/12 - Wrestling
- 1/12 - Girls Basketball
- 1/17 - Boys Basketball
More information coming soon!

Expectations:
- Only students who are enrolled at ETMS may attend the dance or be on school grounds.
- No limousines.
- Nice school or dressy clothes are appropriate for all students (jeans or slacks - no shorts, collared shirts or sweaters, dresses should have sleeves or two straps). Although ETMS recognizes the value of allowing individual student self-expression, the dance is an extension of the school day and student handbook policies still apply. Students who violate these guidelines will not be allowed to enter the dance.
- Students must be in attendance for no less than the last 4 periods of the school day of the dance. Students may not have been in ISS or OSS the day of the event.
- Students must meet academic and student conduct eligibility requirements outlined in our ETMS student handbook to attend the dance (based on 1st quarter grades).
- Student behavior will be expected to reflect participation in a school event. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated, and discipline consequences and removal from the dance will occur.
