A huge CONGRATULATIONS to these students for campaigning and earning a spot on Pickerill's Premier Advisors committee! These advisors will serve as a vital link between the school administration and the student body, faculty, and community. The primary purpose is to provide insight and feedback to the principal, Mr. Pickerill, on various aspects of school life, including academic programs, extracurricular activities, school policies, and overall school climate. The council works to ensure that the voices of all stakeholders are heard and considered in decision-making processes! Congratulations to these scholars! #proudtoroar

NTI Day #5 Information!
Hello EJMS Family and Friends -
We hope that sometime this week we will finally get to be back in person at school. In the meantime, let our teachers know if we can help with NTI in any way. Teachers are always available via email and during NTI days, their virtual "office hours" are 9:00 - 12:00. So feel free to reach out to any of our staff. Check out this week's edition of the Jaguar Weekly to nominate an EJMS Teacher of the Year, to find out this week's events (subject to rescheduling due to weather), and to learn upcoming events that need to be on your calendar, and much more. We hope to see our students and their families at school soon!

Hello EJMS Families and Friends -
We hope that you have kept power and stayed warm during this snowy week. Welcome back to a new semester and to 2025. We don't know yet when we'll be back in person. In the meantime, you'll find several opportunities for sharing your voice with parent engagement information and other opportunities and (possible) events in this newsletter. Perhaps this can be the week to send in your eighth graders' childhood pictures or order this school year's yearbook if you haven't already. Stay safe and warm until we see your students and you again.
