East Middle School
We’ve had a great start to the school year! Thank you for your patience and understanding as we get things rolling. We’re so excited to have all of our students back in the building and are looking forward to a wonderful year ahead.
This newsletter is packed with important updates and helpful information to keep you connected and informed. Be sure to read through so you don’t miss anything!
MAP testing will take place August 25–29 during core classes. To help students do their best, please make sure they:
Get plenty of rest
Eat a healthy breakfast
Bring a fully charged computer each day
We also ask that, if possible, you avoid scheduling appointments or pulling students out during this time.
Canvas is our online learning platform, and setting up a parent account allows you to stay connected with your student’s classes, assignments, and progress.
Follow the steps below to connect your parent account:
To keep traffic moving, please use designated parking spots if you need to stop.
The driving lane should remain clear at all times.
Do not block parked cars; you will be asked to move if you do.
Always be respectful to others in the parking lot.
Let the Games Begin!
The East Raptors Dungeons and Dragons Club is back for another exciting year! Game nights will be Thursdays, and gametime will be 3:07-5:00 with pickup/cleanup starting at 4:50.
The Adventures begin Thursday, September 4, 2025 (first Thursday after our Labor Day Holiday).
Dungeons and Dragons Club is open to all East Middle School students.
Note: Students will need a basic understanding of how to play; otherwise, they will need a student-sponsor who can teach them as they are playing. D&D dice sets are provided. Figurines, cards, fancy dice, and battle boards (not necessary for play) are welcome and encouraged.,
