Mr. Big & Little Fiorentino were excited for our "Dress to Impress" spirit week theme. This student was very proud to be twinning today!
Our middle school students have built in parts of their day to participate in service learning within their school community. Students volunteer in a variety of ways including supporting the kindergarten classroom, deliver notes or update bulletin boards for the office, or helping Ms. Alia with the backpack program. Yesterday, these students finished their work early and requested time with our custodial staff to help keep our building clean!
Good evening,
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
Since we've adopted a new grading a reporting system this year, report cards will look different than they have in the past. Therefore, before report cards are sent home to EMS families later this week, we wanted to provide some resources that may help you navigate the new report. The report is called a "Student Learning Snapshot" because it is meant to give you a "snapshot" of how your student is doing at this moment in time. As the year progresses, students will continue to learn and grow. Please remember that you can login and check on your student's progress on individual assignments at any time by visiting the SmartScore Family website (www.smartedsystems.com).
For now, you are welcome to review the "Student Learning Snapshot Cheat Sheet" (https://bit.ly/slscheatsheet) for a quick overview of the information included in the report card. A more detailed and in-depth overview is provided in the walkthrough video that is linked here (https://youtu.be/YvQZAMxKpdo).
As always, our goal is to make these report cards as valuable and informative as possible for you and your student. Please reach out to your student's teacher, principal, or the Curriculum & Instruction office if you have any questions or if you need additional support. Thank you!
Erica Harryman, Director of Instruction

8th grade science curriculum is physics and engineering. The 8th grade students were working with Art Laplante to design, build and market small projects such as a small table and bird house / bird feeder. The items will be raffled off to the community as part of the 8th grade trip fundraisers. All of Art's time and materials are being donated by Art (EM Brown's). Thank you for Art and E.M. Brown & Son for your time and generosity! More information coming soon regarding this fundraiser!

2nd and 3rd grade were so excited to see the snowplow they named "Knight Hawk" courtesy of VTRANS school program! They got to visit with its driver, Dee, and made a plan for her to honk the horn if she drives by during school hours! Let's hope for lots of snow this season so we can see Knight Hawk in action!
