ESMS Enrollment Night and Fifth Grade Transition, Wednesday April 12th 6:00pm - 7:00pm
It's time to begin preparing current 6th and 7th graders for next year and to transition our 5th graders to the Middle School!
Please join us for information and step by step help in choosing the new classes for students. For current 6th and 7th grade parents we will be meeting in the cafeteria to go over these exciting new choices for the students.
Incoming 5th grade parents will go to the gym and gain new information on the Middle School. There will be information also for Jumpstart (our summer school program) and an opportunity to get more information and ask questions.
Dance Nights and Policies
The 8th Grade dance has been scheduled for April 28th 5:30 to 7 PM. All 8th graders will be eligible if they are moving on to the high school.
There will be one last dance for 6th and 7th grade students as a MAP incentive. This will be May 11th from 5:30 to 7 PM. More information on eligibility will come closer to the date.
MAP Testing
It's that time again. Students are working and preparing hard to do well with the MAP test this year. We will visit with students to lower the anxiety around testing and let our students know that they are going to do great this year on the MAP test. We are looking forward to showing Missouri how much we've learned.
