December 20 will be the last student day before the Winter Break.  Students will dismiss at 11:45 on December 20.  There will be no school from December 21 - January 3.  School will resume on January 4 following the Winter Break.
 
As part of the East Middle dress code, students are not allowed to wear pajamas or pajama pants to school with the exception of specially designated days (such as Friday for Polar Express Day). Students who are not in compliance with dress code will be asked to contact a parent/guardian to bring them a change of clothes.
 
Due to technical issues with our iPad software update, we will NOT be doing MAP testing before winter break as originally planned.  We expect to conduct mid-year MAP testing in January.
