Back-to-School 2017-18 Special Edition
|
|
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! Our district and campus leaders have been working throughout the summer to train teachers and support staff, and we are excited to share that learning with our students.
Included in this special back-to-school edition of EMS ISD eNews you will find important dates and information to help you connect with your child's school and prepare for the first day of classes. We encourage you to take a few moments to review back-to-school details and mark your calendar with key dates.
We also invite you to "like" us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay connected with your district and schools anytime, anywhere. Be sure to watch social media on August 21 for first day of school updates from around the district. #emsproud
It's going to be a great year in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD and we are excited to welcome your child to school on Monday, August 21!

The deadline to complete online registration for the 2017-2018 school year is fast approaching! Visit our
website here for more information. All students, including students who attended an EMS ISD school last year, need to have registration completed in order to pick up their schedules (middle and high) or be included on a class list (elementary). This information is necessary to ensure our schools have the appropriate number of teachers and resources based on active enrollment numbers. Please take a moment to complete registration by
Monday, August 14
. Students who do not have completed registration forms on file by that date may have less chance of receiving their preferred courses, electives, or class placements.
The online process takes about 10 minutes per child to complete. Anyone who is unable to access the online system should contact their child's campus to discuss options for registration.
Thank you for taking a moment to complete registration for your EMS ISD student. We look forward to welcoming your child back to school on August 21 and partnering with you for a successful school year!

Attention parents of 7th graders: Under state requirements, the district must have updated shot records on file before Monday, August 21. All 7th graders need TDap, Menigococcal, Hepatitis A&B, Varicella, MMR, and Polio vaccines.
State law prohibits the district from allowing students to attend any classes without updated immunization records or a notarized opt-out affidavit from the state. Students without an acceptable document will have to be sent home until this requirement is fulfilled.

North Old Decatur Road Construction Update
The construction on Old Decatur Road is part of an ongoing Fort Worth waterline construction project. The construction and increased traffic will provide an additional challenge for several of EMS ISD campuses once school begins. The district has been working with the city, the contractor, and local police on plans to help traffic flow through the construction area as smoothly as possible. The safety of our children, parents, and staff is the
number 1
goal. Specific plans will be shared with parents at Bryson, Willow Creek, and Wayside Middle School later next week once we see how much progress has been made on the road project to that point. Motorists should use caution in the area and plan ahead as delays can be expected. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
