Dear EAMS Students and Families,
Our Monday ABS lesson gave students the opportunity to reflect on their progress towards their goals. Teachers met with individual students to check-in on goals, organization, and continue connecting with individual students. Parent-Teacher conferences were last night, and our staff had wonderful conversations with students and families, strengthening the school-to-home connection. Although conferences have looked different this year, it has also given us a new and more flexible way to connect. Families are encouraged to schedule a virtual meeting or phone call with staff at any point throughout the school year.
It is going to be bitterly cold at times this upcoming week, but we try to get outside for recess and gym as much as possible for some fresh air and vitamin D--please remind your student to dress for the weather! Next week is also Hope Week sponsored by our EAMS Hope Squad. Check out our dress-up days!
Also, a shout out to our volleyball coaches and players! They concluded their season on Thursday. With no other teams in our conference playing, our girls decided they would come to practice, work hard, and scrimmage each other. I am glad we were able to give them a season, even if it looked different. Way to go--we are proud of you!
As items come up that you have questions or concerns about, please do not hesitate to contact me, and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Ryan McBurney
Principal

Calling all "outside of the box" thinkers! This year has had a few drawbacks but has also shown the positive benefits of our students utilizing outdoor classrooms. Fresh air, "outside of the box" teaching techniques, and a change of scenery have been just a few of the successes the EAMS students and staff experienced during the fall terms. Your EAMS PTO would like to take on a large-scale landscaping project to make outdoor classrooms a permanent option at the Middle School. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! Volunteers savvy with ideas, outdoor design, obtaining materials, and fundraising... we need all YOUR help to get the project off the ground! Please email Katie at elkhornms.pto@gmail.com for more information about the project and an invitation to our upcoming Q&A and planning session. Thanks!

Join the Movement: Human Trafficking |
Many people think human trafficking is when youth can be physically taken out of a store BUT what I have realized, especially in the COVID world we are living in right now, it can be done electronically through devices to not only gain the attention of young kids but an older generation, as well.
Our speakers will share what to look for during this time to prevent it from happening, what they are seeing in Walworth County, and the ramifications it has in our county. Please spread the word in helping us to make Walworth County a safer place to live.
