EJMS Jaguar Weekly Dec. 16 - 20

Keeping our School Community in the Know

From Principal Pickerill's Pen

EJMS Families,

We are so proud of the hard work students put into iReady this past week. We have already seen some tremendous growth so please make sure you talk to your child about their performance. If they made any growth they received tickets to put in for prize drawings!

The PTO helped organize the 12 days of Christmas and so far the staff at EJMS have been spoiled throughout December! I want to thank all of the booster organizations, parents, and families who have helped contribute financially or with their time. We have felt your love and appreciation! On behalf of all of the East Middle staff I would like to say thank you for your kindness and wish you a wonderful holiday season!

Upcoming Dates (SBDM Meetings at 4:30 PM in the EJMS library):

Friday, December 20th - Club Day
Monday, January 6th - Staff Development Day - No School

Around EJMS Last Week

CPR training

Health and PE classes had the opportunity to complete adult and children CPR training. Thank you to the Salvavidas Training Agency for spending their day at East Jessamine Middle to train our students to be prepared to save a life!

The Music of the Night

Both our EJMS band (pictured) and EJMS choir students shone this week in well-attended and beautifully performed winter concerts.

Beta Lock-in

Our EJMS Beta's fifth annual winter lock-in was a great success. Students enjoyed creative time with folks from JCPL, time to prepare for the upcoming state convention, some holiday movies and of course midnight matball ending with a surprise snowball fight before bed.

Communication is Key

Congratulations to our November Students of the Month recognized for their excellence in the graduate profile attribute of communication.

Title 1 Parent and Family Engagement News

Look for this section as a regular part of our newsletter with information for parents and families from both the district and our school. To begin with, we wanted to share the policies that detail our vision for parent and family engagement in Jessamine County and at EJMS.

Please take a look at our district and school parent-family engagement policies. We would love to hear any feedback you have for these policies.

One more chance for a Staff Shout out

Has a particular staff member really impacted your child or family in positive ways this semester? Why not let them know and thank them through a staff shout-out?!
