From Principal Pickerill's Pen

EJMS Families,

I hope everyone had a good week. Our 7th grade students had a great time in Charleston and we are thankful for a safe trip for all involved. A special thank you to Mrs. Areaux for planning this fun trip!

Technology Insights Survey - Share your Voice

This year, we're replacing the Speakup survey with a new, shorter Technology survey to gather better data. The survey opens Monday, March 3rd, and closes Friday, April 4th.

The purpose of this survey is to inform our Technology plans and Ed Tech initiatives across the district. By collecting feedback from various stakeholders, we can better understand how technology is perceived and used in our schools. This insight will enable us to provide better support for teachers and remove barriers for students, ultimately maximizing student learning through technology.

We have set the following participation goals for each school:


  • 60% of Teachers
  • 60% of Students (Grades 1-12)
  • 30% of Parents


Schools that meet these goals will be entered to win $5,000 of additional KETS funding.

EJMS Culture Fair March 21

After the Culture Fair during school, there will also be a family celebration the evening of March 21.
