FBLA Meeting on September 14th!

FFA Meeting dates for ESMS for the month of August.

Mrs. Story’s 6th graders are learning about communication and teamwork. Today they attempted to give instructions on putting together a puzzle to their blindfolded teammate. They discussed different communication barriers that they could encounter and attempt to overcome!! 7th graders are learning about safety and infection control and were able to demonstrate the correct order of putting on and removal of PPE(personal protective equipment).

Out of an abundance of caution, Eighth Street Middle School was placed on a soft lockdown this afternoon due to a medical concern with a staff member at the school. There was no threat to the safety and security of the students or staff and the school resumed normal operations.

The Palooza is back!

We are currently experiencing some issues throughout the district with our network. Phones at all schools may be unavailable while the issue is being resolved. Thank you for your patience. #4theT
