Representatives from Alma, the firm helping search for a new EWSD superintendent, visited on October 22 and 23. They had the opportunity to meet with students, parents, and staff in person and talk about the most important qualities for our next superintendent.
We are so grateful to everyone who has shown up to give input that will help inform the position of the new superintendent. There is still a remaining opportunity to take part: https://www.ewsd.org/article/1838253

The Heavenly Food Pantry, located at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex Junction, will be open to families residing in Essex, Essex Junction, and Westford on Thursday, October 24, from 3-6 p.m. Beginning at 3 p.m., families arriving will be given a number, asked to wait in the sanctuary for their number to be called, and registered before being directed to the pantry for food. A volunteer will greet and escort them around the pantry, allowing them to make selections of their choosing.
After food is gathered, it will be weighed (information for pantry use only) and another volunteer will bring the food to the family’s vehicle. Shopping carts will be made available for those within walking distance of the pantry. As usual, there are no income requirements to visit the food pantry and a variety of food is available to everyone; however, additional food provided by the USDA is available once a month to eligible families who fall below federally mandated guidelines. Families not able to attend the pantry may call the Church office at (802)878-5745 Ext. 4 between 9 a.m. and noon today through Thursday to leave contact information so arrangements for delivery can be made. A follow up call to complete registration will take place on Thursday morning.
Families are currently able to visit the pantry each time it is open on the 2nd Monday of the month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and the 4th Thursday of the month from 3-6 p.m. (except for November and December when it is the 3rd Thursday). The next food pantry distribution will occur on Monday, November 11, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Fleming 4th and 5th graders on Team Gazette have been working on place value skills and understanding base-10 system. 4th graders have been learning to read and write numbers to the millions place and are starting to use the standard algorithm for addition to add larger numbers. 5th graders are using their knowledge from last year to read, write, and add numbers into the thousandth place using decimals. The 5th graders put their decimal expertise to the test by working together to unlock the doors in a decimal escape room. It was trickier than they thought!

🚨 The EWSD utilizes an automated emergency calling system that is currently intended only for emergencies, such as an unscheduled early release or a school closing. An annual test of this system is scheduled to take place on Monday, October 21 at 6 p.m. At that time, families, staff, and high school students will receive a brief message from the system based on contact information provided to the schools. The system will contact users through email and a phone call.
🚨 If you do not receive a message and you feel you should have, please contact the school that your child attends to confirm that your contact information is correct. If you are an employee, please make sure that your contact information is up to date in the employee access center.
