Dear EAMS Students and Families,
With rain moving into the area around 5 PM and remaining for some time. The PTO Dance this evening has been postponed, unfortunately. Communication will go out next week regarding potential make-up dates and/or future planning. This is a bummer for all of us, but I know the PTO will come up with something epic and soon!
Our Readiness Lessons this week focused on our anti-bullying programming at EAMS. On Monday, we focused on defining bullying, how to intervene at the moment, and how to report bullying. Our lesson can be found here. As a refresher, our students have access to the SafeElks system; it can be found on the school website and is automatically bookmarked on their Chromebook. It is normal for students to have nerves about reporting bullying behavior. We use this system to help alleviate that. On Friday, students engaged in a lesson and activity regarding rumors and gossip, which people believe happens a lot in secondary education. Our message to students is that it shouldn’t and doesn’t have to!
This week, our Builder’s Club and MS FFA groups met with students, and it was great to see our students give back to the community and explore their learning outside of the classroom/school day. We hosted a cross-country meet last night with over 300 participants, and our girl's basketball team took the court. Involvement outside of the school day is a critical component to student success at the middle school level. Our goal is for all students to be involved in at least three extracurricular activities over the course of the year. The students that do that are more connected to the school and their peers, they have a clearer plan for their future, and they find more academic success. Please encourage your students to join one of our offerings, and if they don’t see anything they like, we are always ready to start a new extracurricular activity!
As items come up that you have questions or concerns about, please do not hesitate to contact me, have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Ryan McBurney
Principal

"NAVIGATING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL" SECRETS REVEALED!
We had a successful first PTO meeting this week where parents got the opportunity to participate in small-group discussions on the Middle School experience with the principals and teaching staff. We talked through everything from the importance of self-advocacy and grades, to social media safety and lunchtime dynamics. The parent tips and advice were so helpful too!
Sad you missed the event? There were so many good incites shared that our moderators have decided to compile it and post them on the PTO Facebook page starting next week! Check it out for the scoop and a HUGE thank you again to everyone who came out. Our next meeting will be at the Middle School on Tuesday, October 12th at 6pm. We hope to see you all there!
