EJMS Jaguar Weekly Dec. 4 - Dec. 8

EJMS Families,

We had a great week back from Thanksgiving break. We were so excited to bring Devine Carama back to East Middle again this year. Please make sure you talk with your child about what message they took from our assembly last Friday. Check out the promo video below which we made for our school's morning news to help with some talking points.

Important Upcoming Dates:

• Wednesday, December 6th - iReady Math Diagnostic
• Thursday, December 7th - iReady Reading Diagnostic
• Thursday, December 7th - Band concert
• Monday, December 11th - Harlem Wizards Basketball game at EJHS
• Thursday, December 14th - Choir concert
• Friday, December 15th - Club Day

On Wednesday and Thursday this week, students will follow an alternative schedule as they will be spending the mornings completing the Math (Wednesday) and Reading (Thursday) iReady diagnostic testing. Please help our students come to school on time with fully charged Chromebooks each day. We want our students to do their best in order to show what they know at this point during the school year. We look forward to celebrating their growth on these assessments from fall to winter with our students and with their families. We use the diagnostic scores along with other class and assessment data in order to make instructional decisions such as changes in curriculum as well as placement in intervention or accelerated classes. We will have one more iReady diagnostic in the spring before Kentucky State Assessment (KSA).

EJMS Art will be displayed on the mesh display boards at JCPL for the month of December. Go check it out!

EJMS Art will also be represented at the Jessamine County Courthouse for the winter themed display during the St. Nich Festival on 12/9!

Families who ordered from the Art to Remember Fundraiser should have received their orders back. All items shipped to the school were sent home with the student on 11/17 in reference to the Remind message that was sent out by Mrs. Cobb. Let Mrs. Cobb know if you did not receive your order.

If you haven't yet, be sure to stop by the Courthouse to see evergreen trees and winter scenes created by the artistic students at East Middle (some pictured below). You'll also find featured artists from among our school community at the Jessamine County Public Library.

Being a part of PTO doesn’t have to be attending meetings and volunteering at events. A HUGE part of PTO is fundraising so we CAN do all the wonderful things for our staff, students and families at East Jessamine Middle School.
