Dear EAMS Students and Families,
This week’s ABS and Olweus lessons came from the Second Step program. Each grade level had different lessons, which all fell under the umbrella of “Managing Relationships and Social Conflict” (ABS) and “Recognizing Bullying and Harassment” (Olweus). The lessons and handouts can be found here and here.
Parent-Teacher Conferences for the winter are on February 4th from 4-8 PM. Conferences, again, will be held virtually, using Google Meet. EAMS families will have the opportunity to schedule conferences with their student’s teachers beginning at 3:30PM today. A video tutorial on how to schedule your conference is included here, and the document with the links to the conferences will be available next Wednesday.
As is always the case with conferences, our staff has more students than time to meet with families on the night of conferences. I strongly believe that conferences are just one opportunity to connect with teachers. Families are encouraged to schedule a virtual meeting or phone call with staff at any point throughout the school year.
Friday, February 5th is one of the additional days off built into the schedule last December. The most up-to-date school calendar can be found here. Looking ahead to the week of February 8th, EAMS will be running our first Hope Week--meet our Hope Squad in the video below!
Lastly, please check out the new addition to our newsletter: "The PTO Corner." As items come up that you have questions or concerns about, please do not hesitate to contact me, and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Ryan McBurney
Principal

Calling all "outside of the box" thinkers! This year has had a few drawbacks but has also shown the positive benefits of our students utilizing outdoor classrooms. Fresh air, "outside of the box" teaching techniques, and a change of scenery have been just a few of the successes the EAMS students and staff experienced during the fall terms. Your EAMS PTO would like to take on a large-scale landscaping project to make outdoor classrooms a permanent option at the Middle School. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! Volunteers savvy with ideas, outdoor design, obtaining materials, and fundraising... we need all YOUR help to get the project off the ground! Please email Katie at elkhornms.pto@gmail.com for more information about the project and an invitation to our upcoming Q&A and planning session. Thanks!

Join the Movement: Human Trafficking |
Many people think human trafficking is when youth can be physically taken out of a store BUT what I have realized, especially in the COVID world we are living in right now, it can be done electronically through devices to not only gain the attention of young kids but an older generation, as well.
Our speakers will share what to look for during this time to prevent it from happening, what they are seeing in Walworth County, and the ramifications it has in our county. Please spread the word in helping us to make Walworth County a safer place to live.
