Greetings Timberwolf Families!
It’s hard to believe but we have five and half weeks left of school! In some ways, it feels like we have time, but when you break down that time, June 17 will be here before we know it!

We have been sharing upcoming events to help keep you informed. Be sure to keep scrolling down to see those dates.

8th grade parents…. We will have a dance! Thank you parents who are excited to keep this tradition going! 

Moving on from dates to celebrations!

• Did you know that we have been averaging 90% attendance rate Monday- Thursdays since we have come back from break? Friday’s are averaging in the mid eighties.

• 150 students have 95% attendance or better for the whole year! Huge shout out to the following students!

• The students in red have missed 0-3 periods the WHOLE year!

We want to encourage students to stay strong (resilience) to be respectful and responsible for our remaining time together!

This week has been Certificated Appreciation Week! At EMS, we have been treating our teachers, counselors, librarians, occupational and physical therapists, principals, psychologists, specialists, etc to special treats each day. Our students created wonderful posters of appreciation, and we decorated the Staff Lounge. Monday, they were treated to home-made cinnamon rolls. Tuesday was make your own trail-mix bar. Wednesday was a Pancake breakfast during their staff meeting. Thursday they got coffee cards, key chains and tulips and Friday is Dip Day!

Thank you for all you do for our Students!
