Dear EAMS Students and Families,
Last Week of School:
-
Library Books: Students turned in half of our remaining checked-out books this week. If you notice any library books lying around your student's room, please encourage them to turn them in during the upcoming week.
-
Mini-Course Day: On Tuesday, all students will participate in our annual Mini-Course Day, trying out a variety of nontraditional courses taught by teachers they may not have. Thank you to the EAMS PTO for sponsoring this event every year!
-
Last Day of School: We’re pumped for a great end of the year: 6th-grade field day, 7th-grade field trip, and 8th-Grade Moving On! As well grades and 2022-2023 schedules will be posted Wednesday after school. Schedules may still be adjusted throughout the summer.
E/LA Capstone Project: By working with small groups of students and varying the text complexity and/or skills taught, we no longer have a designated “honors” class for English/Language Arts. Students wishing to earn the honors designation for their E/LA course may engage in the Capstone Project. Completion of the capstone project does not automatically equate to the honors designation; demonstrating proficiency above grade level will be the final determination as rated on the E/LA Capstone Project Rubric. Tackling the capstone project is an intended opportunity for students looking to encapsulate their learning from the year and is in addition to their E/LA coursework. More detailed information can be found in this video and document.
8th-Grade Moving On: The Moving On Ceremony will be hosted on the last day of school, June 8th, at 12:30 PM. Families are welcome to sign their student(s) out after the event. We plan to hold the event outside in the auxiliary lot again this year. Please bring your own chairs; ours will be exhausted by the 8th-grade students. If the weather does not cooperate, we will move indoors to the gymnasium. Regardless, there is no limit on the number of guests.
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
