We encourage all students to participate in our annual City Saver fundraiser.  Students will be selling City Saver Discount books.  The sales will begin on January 17, 2020.  The last day to return your City Saver orders will be on February 14, 2020.  City Saver sales benefit the CMC Education Foundation, which adds additional funding and support to our schools and school system.  City Saver books are $25 each.  They have thousands of dollars in savings from over 150 Clarksville-area merchants!  City Saver books are also available in more than 20 cities, including Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Orlando, Cincinnati, and Las Vegas.  City Saver representatives will come to East Montgomery on Tuesdays, beginning on January 28 and ending on February 11.  Please send in any orders and money to school on these 3 Tuesdays, and the orders will be filled and prizes distributed back to students on the same day.

Please remember the importance of your child attending school all day, every day!  In order for a student to be counted present for the entire day, students must be at school for at least 3 hours and 31 minutes.  If you want your child counted present for the day, you cannot sign them out before 12:06 in the afternoon.  If you need to come to school late one day, you must arrive before 12:04 to be counted present for the entire school day!  We want to encourage families to try to schedule appointments for students after school or on school holidays, if at all possible.  Remember, those students who do not miss a day of school and who do not receive a tardy or get dismissed early, will be recognized each 9 weeks as one of our “All Day, Every Day Tigers!”  They will receive a special surprise!

Mark your calendars and join us for a fun night of real-world math application!  Families will search the aisles for answers to math questions and apply their math skills on an activity sheet!  Come to the Sango Square Publix from 5:00 until 7:00 on Thursday, January 23, 2020!  We hope to see you there!

Welcome back to school!  We want to remind everyone who participates in our Car Circle to make sure that you have picked up and are displaying your EMES Car Rider tag.  We have received new tags this year!  Last year’s car tags will not work for this year’s car riders.  You must receive a new tag and update your information in the office, if you have not already done so this school year.  Please remember that no students will be released in the car rider line to anyone (parents included) who do not have their car rider tags.  If you do not have your tag with you, then you must go into the office to dismiss your child.  Please also remember that parents and guardians must remain in their vehicle at all times, because of safety reasons.  Please teach your child how to buckle his/ her seatbelt or you may drive to the front part of the lower parking lot to get out and buckle your child.  All children will be loaded from the passenger side of your car.

Morning drop-off is from 8:15 until 8:35.  Do not leave your child unattended in the mornings.  Teachers will come outside at 8:15, to begin receiving students.  Afternoon pick up begins at 3:20.  If you do lose your car tag, please come into the office and pay the $5.00 replacement fee for a new tag.  Only people listed on your child’s Emergency Card are allowed to pick up your student!  We appreciate your help and cooperation to make our Car Circle the best it can be!

Please make sure you continue to collect BoxTops and Coke Rewards, so we can keep earning money for our school!  BoxTops are collected by your EMES PTO.  Please see the below pictures for more information about how you can help out!
