Join the Parent Teacher Association. Parent volunteers work with the school’s teachers and administration in various committees to enrich the learning experience and help the school function. In the past, EMSPTA has raised money to supply Smartboards, computers, special speakers, and even air conditioning for the classrooms! Every dollar you donate helps your student. Each time you volunteer, it adds value to every student’s experience at school. Receive a Parent directory with a minimum donation! JOIN THE PTA TODAY!

Get Involved. Our community relies on YOUR generosity! Whatever your skills or time commitment, whether in person or from home, we have many ways for you to contribute and make a positive impact. Our goal is to connect as many engaged people as possible to the school in whatever ways they are willing to participate. Please visit our webpage to learn more about various roles and how to sign up.

Come to the Open House. Grade 6 (Date TBD) & Grades 7-8 (Date TBD). This is one of the only opportunities to meet your child's teachers and experience a mini version of his/her day, attending classes and quickly switching classrooms. Parking is difficult, so get there early to allow time to find a spot and be on time. Parking is also available at the nearby Riverside School. The school will send more information closer to the date.

Welcome Coffee - All Grades (Date TBD) 

The welcome coffee is an informal interaction to learn more about the curriculum, PTA events, the numerous enrichment programs for our kids, opportunities to ask questions, and more. You'll meet our Principal, Marc Guarino, your grade-specific administrators, and counselors. Additionally, we'll offer a sneak peek into the enriching programs and other activities facilitated by the PTA to benefit your children.

Picture Day (Dates TBD)

More information about how to place orders for your child's school photos will be available at the start of the school year.

Gator Wear

Students will be asked to wear Gator Gear throughout the year to show school spirit. Get yours today from EMS PTA Spirit Wear Store.

Calendar

Remember to check the calendar on EMSPTA.org for upcoming events and programs, including Grade-Level Coffees, Open House Nights, and PTA Meetings. You can also sync the calendar to your personal one. 

Arrival and Dismissal info. Marc Guarino, EMS Principal, will email detailed information. The school start and end times will be the same for ALL students. Start time will be 8:15am and end time will be 3:00pm. Please do adhere to the traffic rules for the safety of our children.

Lunchtime. Many children choose to bring their own lunch. This is especially helpful for the social child who talks a lot, forgets to eat, or is a slow eater.
