As you may know, the East Middle School Parent-Teacher Council (EPTC) Rocket Booster Fundraiser is in its final few days and is scheduled to end on September 30, 2024.The EPTC is committed to using your donations to directly support East Middle School. Just a few of the ways your donation will help East Middle School include: Washington DC trip medical staff; science lab dishwasher; art kiln hood; recreational equipment; stage curtains; teacher grants; choir trip scholarship; the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program; and, our Wednesday Wonders offerings.
We are halfway to our goal of $15,000 for the fundraiser and even though time is running short, we can get there with your help. While any donation is greatly appreciated, we will meet our goal if we receive $30 to $40 from each family. If you have not done so already, please donate today at bit.ly/rocketbooster2024 or return the donation form that was sent home with students to the East Middle School office.
Thank you for your generous donations, and for your help in sharing this giving opportunity with others.
With construction going on throughout the year, we have had to make a few adjustments to how students enter the building. If you drop off your student in the morning, students will enter through door 5. This is the doorway that is near the gym. Door 5 will be open from 7:55 - 8:15 each morning. For safety reasons, this door will lock at 8:15. If you drop your student off after 8:15, we ask that they enter the building through door 26.
Door 26 would also be the door that you would come to if you needed to pick your child up early from school. The main office has been moved to just inside door 26 during the construction. We apologize for the inconvenience. As I tell staff and students, the short term inconvenience will pay off when we have a beautiful new addition next year!
To create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, we ask that you please leave perfume and cologne at home. Many individuals have allergies or sensitivities to fragrances, and we want to ensure that all of our students can participate comfortably.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
