Principal's Message
Hello EAMS Students and Families:
I wanted to share a couple of exciting events that happened this week after school. On Tuesday, our Fluid Power Challenge team celebrated their “season” by visiting one of our local businesses, Precision Plus. Elkhorn Area School District continues to define “readiness” in terms of college, career, and life. It is important to us that students have opportunities to visit the workforce and develop a strong sense of the school-to-career connection. Precision Plus was a gracious host, showing us the varying fluid-power operations on their floor, letting us use the laser engraver, and practicing with their robotic arm. Thank you to Ms. Card, Ms. Erickson, and Ms. Frankenberg for arranging this trip and your guidance to the team. Also, look for Precision Plus at the Elkhorn Mini Maker Faire this February 14th & 15th.
The school-to-home connection is a critical component to the educational success of our students. With that in mind, our staff is focusing on two main areas of parent outreach this year: positive phone calls and family engagement nights. To date, our staff at EAMS has made over 800 positive phone calls home this year. In addition, I know that they have sent numerous notes and emails as well.
Last night, our 8th grade teams hosted their family engagement night. This event gave participating families the opportunity to experience and learn about the work going on, specifically in 8th grade English/Language Arts classes. Students and families walked through the process of the current persuasive unit. In this unit, students read the short story “The Gift” and then watched the film
It’s a Wonderful Life
with their families… and, of course, popcorn! Through comparing these two mediums, students will determine which “enduring lesson” is the most impactful and develop a strong argument to that end. Thank you to our 8th grade teams for preparing this evening, and thank you to the students, parents, and families for participating. More information regarding 6th and 7th grade family engagement nights will be shared as we get closer to those events.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
