The 8th grade Celebration Luau will be Tuesday, June 2, 6:00-8:00. More information to come!
General Announcements
REMINDER: Please do not drop off or pickup students on Graydon Avenue. Not only is this unsafe for our students, it slows down the traffic flow. Our new parking lot allows the drop off of students in a timely manner and should be utilized. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
We have had several students arrive at school as early as 6:30am. Please remember that we cannot provide supervision for those students. Our doors open at 7:25am, which is when supervision is available.
Students that stay after for the fitness center should not leave the building after school and need to be picked up promptly at 4:30 pm.
D & D Club
Just a friendly reminder that D&D Club meets on Mondays after school from 3:15-4:15. Please make sure students are picked up promptly at 4:15, as we aren’t able to provide supervision after that time. If a student isn’t picked up by 4:15, they will need to wait outside, as staff supervision will no longer be available. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and on schedule!

Classroom Happenings
Music Tour
Our talented high school band and choir performed at the middle school today, showcasing their incredible talents! Our middle school jazz band also took the stage, delivering impressive performances of their own. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to witness what dedication, hard work, and passion for music can achieve.
A special thank you to Mr. Bertino, Mr. Treder, and Mr. Arendt for the countless hours they invest in nurturing these talented musicians and singers. Your commitment to excellence and your ability to inspire students truly makes all the difference. We're grateful for everything you do!
Earth Day Experience
WCEDA (Walworth County Economic Development Alliance) invited some of our middle school students to join them for an Earth Day experience at White River Park in Lake Geneva. Our students planted and mulched around a new dog park and heard from a variety of different professionals from the conservancy field. We also got to take a hike around the beautiful park! Huge thank you to Lake Geneva Conservancy for putting on such a great experience!!
Miscellaneous Information
Library News
No Kite-Eating Trees Here, Charlie Brown!
What better way to celebrate spring than to fly a kite with friends? Along with the proper wind, the ETMS Library provided all that is needed for fun in the sun during students' FLEX time. Many students had not flown a kite before, so this was a new and exciting experience for them.

The Fitness Center at ETMS will be open Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays starting September 8th. Middle school students looking to work out after school should stay at the middle school.

Scheduling Meetings with Staff
We kindly ask that parents and guardians schedule a meeting in advance when wishing to speak with a staff member. Our staff have full schedules throughout the day, and unannounced visits can be difficult to accommodate.
We absolutely understand that emergencies can arise, and in those cases, we will do our best to assist right away. However, for all other matters, please reach out by phone or email to set up a meeting time. This helps ensure that staff can give you their full attention and that your concerns are addressed effectively.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us maintain a productive and respectful environment for both staff and students.
