October 8th, 2021
Dear EAMS Students and Families,
In a couple of weeks, we will have our first Parent/Teacher Conference event of the year on October 21st from 4-8 PM. Our staff is currently working on scheduling group conferences with some students and families, and next Friday, conference scheduling will appear as an option through Family Access on Skyward. Families may attend conferences in-person or virtually, but they do need to be scheduled in advance via Skyward. I will be alerting families next Friday when the scheduling has opened and include a tutorial on how to navigate Skyward.
More importantly, I want all families to know that Parent/Teacher Conferences are just one avenue for connecting with EAMS staff members. Our staff is ready to connect with you at any time during the year via phone, email, or virtually. Although the last couple of years have been different, it has taught us all how to connect in non-traditional ways.
Typically, our highest group of participating families is in sixth grade, which makes sense--this year is a big transition. If conference slots fill up, do not hesitate to contact your student’s teacher.
We schedule our conferences for the week after the first term ends. This gives students and families a chance to see where they are in their learning progression at the halfway point of the first trimester. And--there is plenty of time to learn, grow, and improve.

A huge shout out to the Elkhorn Kiwanis Club for being a gracious partner with EASD and EAMS. This Wednesday, our students were inducted to Builder's Club. Thank you to our leaders, Ms. Sperle and Ms. Card, and students as they make a difference at EAMS and in the community!
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

BACK TO SCHOOL DANCE RESCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 15TH 6-8:00PM
We are keeping our fingers crossed for a nice, fall evening next Friday to host our first school dance of the year! The weather forecast says it will be sunny and 65 degrees... which OF COURSE won't change before then. Ha! We hope everyone can attend. Please take the time to review Mr. McBurney's Sept. 22 email for all the details on format, layout, and pricing. We still need a couple of parent volunteers! Can you please help us keep all those tween angels safe and happy? Sign up HERE! :)

Anyone who would like to help but isn't a cook (or doesn't have the time, we hear ya!) is welcome to provide a cash donation toward the meal HERE. All your help is greatly appreciated!

HERE COMES THE BOOK FAIR!!! OCTOBER 18TH-22ND, 7AM-3PM DAILY
The PTO is keeping the joy of reading alive (as well as fundraising for our school) with the big fall Scholastic Book Fair! We will have a HUGE assortment of fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, posters, novelty items, and more! Students will have the opportunity during the week to shop during their English class, as well as before/after school and during lunch. Payment can be made with cash, checks (made out to EAMS PTO), credit card, or Scholastic eWallet. At Scholastic Online, parents can volunteer to help work (we love our volunteers!), send funds electronically through the eWallet program, and shop the full fair assortment themselves online. Any questions? Contact Book Fair Chairperson Mary Robers. *Note: Wisconsin now requires us to collect sales tax for book fair purchases.
