Girls Basketball

This is a circular logo for Erie Middle School Basketball. The logo has a black background with an orange border. At the center is a detailed illustration of a tiger’s face, looking directly forward with an intense expression, symbolizing strength and school spirit. Around the tiger, the words "Erie Middle School" are written in bold white text along the top of the circle, and "Basketball" is written along the bottom. The black and orange color scheme emphasizes school colors and the tiger mascot, creating a bold and cohesive design.

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.

Attendance

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

Yellow starburst that says Attendance Matters! White wording that is on the left of the graphic that says Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

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.
