EMES School Newsletter
It was wonderful to welcome your children back to school on Wednesday. I hope you all had a restful and healthy February break. Thank you to all who came out to vote at Town Meeting on Tuesday, and a big thank-you to Julia, Penny, and Tavish for serving as pages for our Town Meeting Tuesday morning. I am relieved to have this year's budget process behind us and to be able to focus on all the other things related to school operations! In the coming weeks, I will reach out to families about next year's placement and teaching assignments.
February was an especially full and busy month for such a short month at EMES. We were excited to bring back Winter Wellness for the first time since COVID, and although there were many moving parts, it was an incredibly successful and rich experience for our students, staff, and family members. Thursdays felt a bit like a whirlwind, but it was worth it! Thank you all for your help in ensuring this was a success.
As we enter March and the warmer days, the snow is melting and ice is building up in areas of our playground. Please continue to send snow gear in with your children each day as we still have a lot of snow (that is quickly going to turn to mud!). March is also the month for student-led conferences. You will hear from your child's teacher in the coming days to schedule a student-led conference on or around March 20th. We especially love these conferences as students are able to showcase their learning.
Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to turn your clocks ahead Saturday before bed!
