GENERAL INFORMATION & UPDATES
NWEA TESTING
BISON FAN DAY!
Our next Bison Fan Day will be on Monday, December 11th for the ETMS Wrestling Team meet.
This is a fun activity where 6th-8th grade students get to cheer on the ETMS Wrestling Team.
***Please note, if you are actively participating in another Winter sport (ex. basketball) Activity (ex. robotics, scholar bowl), please do NOT sign up for Bison Fan Day. The expectation is that you fulfill your commitment to your athletic or activity practice. You may not join the Bison Fan Day after your practice. If you want to attend the wrestling meet after your practice, same expectations are followed to be with an adult for the event.
Parents,
Please fill out the permission form below if your student plans to attend. Students will NOT be able to stay after school if parents have not filled out the form prior to 11:00 AM on December 11th. If we reach capacity, the form will no longer be accessible and won't accept student sign-ups.
Students will need to be picked at 5:45 PM.

CUPCAKE WARS!
"8th-grade students in Expanding Human Resources classes took on a Cupcake Wars challenge! Students researched and created displays based on the theme of "holidays". They then baked, iced, and decorated cupcakes to be presented on their displays. Students got the chance to vote and taste test each other's cupcakes and determine overall winners in each hour."
