We measure your student's Math(and Read was last week) skills to ensure our instruction is strengthening your student's Math skills and preparing students for Math at-or-above grade-level.

Measured this week in the Spring Math iReady Diagnostic will be your student's conceptual and procedureal knowledge of:

a) Numbers and operations

b) Algebra and algebraic thinking

c) Geometry

d) Measurement and data

Your student will be completing the iReady Math Diagnostic in their Life class. When finished we will be sending you their assessment results. Your student's achievement will help guide their enrollment in FLX sessions for the upcoming school year.

Starting May 30th, parent pick up and drop off at EHS and EMS, as well as bus pick up and drop off zones are changing. Elementary procedures will remain the same. Please view the map below to familiarize yourself with the new procedures, and spread the word to other families. Following this new protocol will keep our students safe, and improve efficiency during school start and release times. Please contact Transportation at 503-630-8606 with any questions.

Last month, all students at EMS completed our bi-yearly Student Engagement Survey. We celebrated our top indicators and are working with student council to overcome and build actions plans for our lowest-rated indicator.

Highest Rated Indicator: Learning is Important at My School

Highest Rated Indicator: I enjoy my Art, PE, and Music classes

Lowest-Rated Indicator: Students show respect for each other at my school

We elicit student voice to help guide our actions. The student council has worked to identify strategic actions we will begin to implement before the end of the school year. The two top-voted strategic actions are: #1: Student-led Respect Forms and #2: Teaching Respect and Kindness, schoolwide.

Call the weekend COIVD-19 case hotline on the weekend. It is self-automated; select the right school (per the prompt) and leave a message. The voicemail you leave will be directed to our Vice-Principal, Mr. Kelley so we can begin to identify potential close contacts.

Our mission is to equip each student with the skills necessary to be resourceful and successful.
