Hello EJMS Family and Friends -
We hope that everyone had a great first four-day week back at school. Now we're ready for a full week and as usual, there's a lot going on. Buene suerte, удачі, good luck to our multilingual learners who will be completing the ACCESS testing over the next couple of weeks. This week, 8th graders will be going to JCTC to explore more about what high school will look like for them and that exploration will be continuing in the following weeks as well. We've also got player evaluations and tryouts for spring sports starting up, so lots to do at EJMS. Find out about all of that and more in this week's edition of our school newsletter. Have a great week!
