Principal's Message

Good Afternoon EAMS Students and Families:

Locker Cleanout/Pickup
Pickup will occur on May 4th (6th Grade), May 5th (7th Grade), and May 6th (8th Grade). Items can be picked up from 8-12 PM by driving through the parent-pickup line. Please pull ahead to the athletic entrance, remain in your vehicle, provide your student's name to a staff member, wait until the bag of supplies has been placed on the table and the attendant has backed away. At that point, you can retrieve your bag from the table. It may be helpful to have a sign with your students' name displayed on your window. As the line gets long, this will help us move things along.

Some additional supplies from teachers have been attached to the bag, so this is an important pickup. If you are unable to make the pickup times, please do not hesitate to contact the office to set up an alternate pickup time. There are other items that students will need/want to return and/or pickup before the end of the year. We will be scheduling a time and process to do so during the last week of the year.

2020-2021 Course Selections
As we turn an eye to next year, students have the opportunity to inject their voice into the scheduling process. Next year, 7th & 8th Grade students will be taking three Allied Arts courses for 12 weeks each. Previously, students took all six Allied Arts courses for six weeks each. Please view this tutorial video on how to select Allied Arts choices for the upcoming year. We have new course offerings; here is the course description documen t again.

This video also shows the process to signup for Band and/or Choir as well. Please have course selections completed by May 15th.

As the weather gets nicer, I know it gets even harder to be away from friends and activities that you love and enjoy, and my heart aches that we are missing out on the end of the year together.. But don’t let the distance discourage you! This is a great time to purposefully connect with people--the connections and relationships that we have formed as a school community are still there. Digitally connect with a friend or teacher to just check-in without talking about school--it’s worth it!

Have a great weekend!
