Principal's Message
Hello EAMS Students and Families,
Thank you for taking the time to visit with Elkhorn Area Middle School staff last evening at parent-teacher conferences. I overheard great conversations about student successes, problem-solving, and building understanding around life at the middle school. We chose this open format for our first parent teacher conferences to try and make teachers as accessible as possible. I know that made for a long evening if you have multiple students in the building; as we progress through the year, parent teacher conferences will be in a more intimate setting, allowing those families a more streamlined process.
One of the biggest conversations that comes up at parent teacher conferences is “how a student can get extra help if needed. “Here are the most common and productive ways for students to get extra assistance at school:
~Small group work in the classroom setting, planned and
organized by the teacher
~Extra support during our daily, morning WIN period
~Extra support from my teacher during study hall (for students
that have a study hall)
~Help after school with a teacher
~After School Assistance: a program designed to help students
with homework completion and studying
Last night, parents in attendance picked up their students Wisconsin forward exam scores. Linked here is a letter from the Elkhorn area school district regarding the reports:
Thank you and have a great weekend!
