Hello Tiger Families!

We had an AMAZING Open House this week! We had so much fun inviting our future Tigers into our building. Our Open House night is a nice opportunity to connect with families and learn more about what they are looking for in middle school. Such a great night!

Next week is Halloween, and we are looking forward to seeing all the great costumes! Please be sure to check out our costume guidelines included below.

And…as always…Goooooo Tiiiiggggers! 🙂

Main Street

For the safety of your student, please do not drop off or pick up your student on Main Street. Dropping off and picking up on Main Street also causes traffic build up. We have a drop off lane on the North side of the school off of Cheeseman Street. Please see the photo below for our drop off procedures.

Please DO NOT ENTER the bus pick up lane in front of the school between 7:40am – 8:10am and 2:40pm – 3:15pm. The teacher parking lot is also not a drop off or pick up spot for your student.

This image is an overhead, satellite-style view of a school or public area with a marked "Kiss and Go Lane" for vehicles. Several key traffic instructions are overlaid on the image in bold yellow and red text with directional arrows, as follows: Top of the image: The street running horizontally across the top of the image has two labeled instructions: On the left side, a yellow arrow points to the left, and the red text in a yellow box reads "No left turn." On the right side, a yellow arrow points to the right, and the red text in a yellow box reads "Right turn only." Center of the image: The main Kiss and Go Lane is shown with a series of yellow arrows curving through a parking area. These arrows indicate the flow of traffic, leading vehicles through the designated drop-off zone. There is a red star near the middle of the turn to indicate a particular point of interest (likely a drop-off point). Bottom of the image: At the bottom, a bold yellow message in red text reads, "PLEASE PULL AS FAR FORWARD AS POSSIBLE." This likely instructs drivers to continue moving forward to maximize space and efficiency in the drop-off area. Overall, the image uses yellow arrows to guide drivers through the designated lane, with key traffic rules (no left turn, right turn only, pull forward) displayed prominently in red text on yellow backgrounds.

Student Fees

At the top of the image, large bold text reads "STUDENT FEES." Below the text is an illustration of an open book. On top of the book, there are three stacks of coins, each showing a dollar sign ($) to symbolize money. Surrounding the coins are two large pencils, one on each side of the book, along with small, decorative leaves. The overall color scheme uses shades of blue and teal, giving the image a clean and modern look.

2024-25 classroom fees have been posted to your student’s Infinite Campus account.  Please log on to your Infinite Campus parent portal and click on Fees.  

If your family would qualify for free or reduced lunch, that designation will apply to your fees.  Click here for the 24-25 Free/Reduced application.  You will be notified from our district office about your qualification.

Student Council Glove Drive: Keep Our Community Warm! 

Winter Glove Drive Attention, students and families! The Student Council is excited to announce a glove drive to help those in need stay warm this winter. From October 15th to October 28th, we will be collecting new, insulated gloves for Erie Uplink. Drop-off boxes will be located in advisory classrooms. The advisory class that donates the most gloves will win a prize! On October 31st (Halloween), the winning advisory will get a doughnut party with alternate treats for allergens. Let’s show our school spirit and support our neighbors! Every pair of gloves makes a difference. Together, we can keep hands warm and hearts full. Thank you for your generosity! Donation Collection Dates: October 15th - October 28th Drop-Off Location: Your student’s advisory class For questions or more information, please contact the Student Council.

Halloween Guidelines

EMS Halloween Guidelines: Students should be recognizable: Masks and full face paint are not allowed. No weapons or simulated weapons: These items should not be part of any costume. No blood or gore: Costumes should not include any graphic or gory elements. Costumes should not disrupt learning: Attire should maintain an appropriate school environment. These guidelines ensure that Halloween is fun and safe while keeping the focus on learning.

EMS Fall Book Fair

Scholastic Book Fairs' logo for the Wild West Book Fair. The design features a cowboy theme with a white cowboy hat, a cactus on the left, a horseshoe on the right, and a silhouette of a horse in the background. The text reads: 'Wild West Book Fair – Saddle Up and Read!

Way to go EMS! Thanks to your support for our Fall Book Fair, we were able to purchase 75 new books from the fair for our EMS library. We will also be purchasing some titles from other vendors as well. Thanks again for your continued support of reading and literacy at Erie Middle!

Thank you for everything you do to communicate regarding your child’s absences. We have a lot of traffic in and out of our main office during the school day so we have procedure in place to be more efficient and smooth for our students and families.

PICK UP

We strongly encourage you to fill out this google form ahead of time to expedite the pick up process. This not only helps the front office staff, but helps you get in and out quickly.  We make every effort to call your student up to the office 5 minutes before the time you put on the form so they are ready to go when you get to school. If you arrive before your student makes it up to the front office, we will have you wait for them in the first lobby.

DROP OFF

When a student is coming into school late, you can sign them in ahead of time OR they can sign themselves in when they come into the office.  You can drop them off, make sure they get in the front doors, and we will take it from there. When dropping off your student, there is no need for you to come into the front office with your child.

We understand that sometimes you will not be able to sign your student out until you arrive at the school. In this case, we have posted a QR code in the first lobby and have added chairs for your convenience.  Please remember to bring your ID each time you pick up your student.  If an ID check is needed, we will have you step into the front office. After that ID check we will have you wait for your student in the first lobby. We will have them meet you there as they come through the front office.

We have many times that the person picking up doesn’t know our procedures. Please share this information with your spouse, significant other, grandparents, siblings or anyone else that may be picking up your student.

As a reminder, always get a note from any type of appointment your student has for attendance purposes.

If your student is absent for a full day, you have 48 hours to call in with the reason for the absence, after that it will be marked unexcused. Per board policy, if a student is absent 10 days excused or not, absences will begin to be marked “unexcused” unless previously noted and approved by school administration or there is a doctor’s note provided to the school.

Extended Absences

Extended Absences: Please notify the school at least 2 weeks prior to any extended absences via our Google form. You and your student will also need to sign off on our “Extended Absence Form” located in our front office. This form helps students and parents understand how to communicate with teachers and make up schoolwork after the absence.
