A Note from Mrs. Kruse
As the school year begins to wind down, please mark your calendars for the important end of the year activities that occur at East Middle School listed in Upcoming Events.
On behalf of the entire GBEMS staff, I would like to thank all of our families for your support and care this year. We have faced challenges and overcome some remarkable obstacles together. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation. We plan to close out this year with some small in-school celebrations with our students and staff. We look forward to starting the new 2021-2022 school year face to face full time! Please take about 10 minutes to complete the Parent Survey below. Your feedback will play an important part in our planning for next year.
Thank you again for allowing us to be a partner in your child’s education at Grand Blanc East Middle School. To our 8th grade students and families, we wish you all the best at Grand Blanc High School.
Enjoy a relaxing, and safe summer with your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Jodi Kruse
