EMS Family Newsletter - February 2025

These grades represent your student's midterm grades for the 3rd grading period. The grading period ends on Friday, March 14th. This gives students five weeks to focus on any grades that may need to be improved. Please reach out to your student's homeroom teacher with overall concerns or to a specific teacher if your concerns relate to only one of your student's classes. Often times in middle school, poor grades are a result of missing assignments. We encourage parents to have their students take advantage of after school tutoring if missing assignments are a consistent theme with your student. See below for more details. Our staff appreciates your support!

Each Wednesday, students spend their homeroom time learning various soft skills and life skills. Our goal is that these skills fill in gaps and build the capacity and character of our students as they go throughout their middle school years, while also doing this in a fun and engaging way.

This semester, students will again spend two weeks with each homeroom teacher in their grade but will focus on a different skill than when they met with that teacher last semester. You can find descriptions of each soft skill below.

Each month, 2 students from each grade level will be selected by their teachers to be recognized as "Students of the Month."

Congratulations to our January EMS Students of the Month!
