UPDATE ON FOAM-FREE LUNCH TRAYS
The BOE resolved last month to eliminate Styrofoam trays from the school cafeterias. The use of dishwashers and reusable trays will be piloted at New Lebanon School next year. The Green Schools Committee will gather data on this pilot program as well as compile results on the waste reduction programs at Eastern Middle School and North Mianus to present a case for district-wide reusable trays this fall or another equally suitable alternative.
Parent advocacy was key to getting us this far. Please continue to support a reusable food ware system for the 2019-202 school year. It's the most responsible solution for our children's health, our environment and the budget. For more information on a foam-free lunch, you can read the Food Service Committee's update to the Board of Education by following this link. Questions? Email PTAC.
Shop on Amazon and support the PTA! Through AmazonSmile, Amazon will donate 0.5% of price of eligible items to EMS PTA. Please see

Recognition Day ceremony scheduled for Monday, June 17, 2019 at

two tickets

;
the seats will be randomly assigned to families.
We will be assigning family seats to first fill the main floor level of the auditorium, then if needed, assign family seats to the front rows of the mezzanine.
Please note that you will need your ticket to enter the auditorium and find your seats.
Any unreserved seats in the mezzanine and balcony levels will be filled on a first come first serve basis after 8:20 a.m.
If anyone does not plan to use a ticket(s), please return them to Mrs. Gittens in the Main Office

The SCA is continuing to collect box tops this year. Box tops for education can be found on many forms of household goods, including cereal, granola bars, fruit snacks, paper goods, and many more items. Cut out the boxtops and send them into AB. The SCA is planning on using money raised through box tops to buy supplies for a school in need. Please help us to make a great donation by collecting box tops at home!

ATTENTION ALL EMS PARENTS
Lately there has been an increase in unsafe traffic during morning student drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Vehicles have been observed driving in through the school exit lane, dropping students off on Hendrie Avenue, dropping students off in the left "through traffic" lanes, as well as driving at unsafe high speeds through the EMS property. Additionally, vehicles have been left unattended, parked in through traffic lanes. All of these pose significant safety risks for students and adults.
It is imperative that we all work together and all adhere to the safety protocols and authorized traffic patterns to ensure that we keep everyone safe! As a reminder, below is what I sent earlier this year:
For student safety and timely parent drop-off/pickup,
please stay to the
right
side of the driveway along the sidewalk when picking up your child and/or waiting to pick them up. The
left
side lane is for through traffic only. This allows for vehicles that have already picked students up, are trying to exit, or get to the rear of the building.
Students should not be crossing traffic to the left lane to get picked up. This poses a significant safety risk.
Thank you for your cooperation on this.
Jason Goldstein
Principal - Eastern Middle School
