As we move into the holiday season, we’re taking a moment to reflect on all the learning, growth, and special moments that made our fall semester at EJMS so meaningful.
We’re incredibly grateful for our students, staff, families, and community partners—this fall was packed with growth, celebrations, and Jaguar pride because of your support.
It would be impossible to capture all the laughs, smiles, celebrations, and successes in one video, but enjoy this recap at a great fall at EJMS! 🐆💚

📊✨ Goal Setting in Action! ✨📊
After today, our students will have officially completed their winter i-Ready diagnostics and are bringing home a goal-setting reflection sheet to share with their families. This sheet helps students reflect on their winter scores, celebrate growth, and set new goals as they move forward in their learning journey! There are resources at the bottom of the page for our EJMS tutoring opportunities through the Power Academy and additional at-home family resources! Scan the QR code on your student's sheet to get more information!
Families, we encourage you to take a few minutes to review the sheet together, talk about progress, and help your student set meaningful goals for the months ahead. When school and home work together, big growth happens! 🐆💙💚
Please have students return this sheet to their homeroom teacher by Friday, December 19th! #proudtoroar
