elcome to Enumclaw Middle School. We are proud to represent the Enumclaw
School District’s focus on All Students Achieving at High Levels. This has been our
district vision for many years and over those years we have witnessed the vision becoming a reality at EMS. While the district vision is broader, here at EMS we have chosen a
school mission to help us focus in on each of our students; that mission is to “maximize
each student’s learning per class period”. We chose this mission statement as we believe
that it will help us to continue to find ways to improve our service to all students.
This year, we continue to promote student development beyond just academics by involving them in helping build the kind of school culture that helps everyone feel like they
belong. Our ASB and Leadership students are leading the school in monthly discussions
surrounding positive character traits that we believe will make EMS a better place. For
example, the themes for the first three months of school are Dream Big - Setting GoalsCommitting to Goals. Other examples throughout the year are Awareness of Others,
Positive Talk, Avoiding Gossip and Positive Cyber talk. We believe that students leading
students through this will continue to grow the culture of EMS in a positive direction. In
conjunction with this, we are also continuing to develop our Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) program this year. The goal of this program is to teach and reinforce positive behaviors at school in order to maximize learning and contribute to the overall
school culture.

districts based on the user’s selected
criteria. To view more information about

As a school there are some exciting new opportunities for students to participate in. We
are now in year four of our expanding STEM program. We offer a Design class in the
7th grade as well as Robotics and Advanced Project Lead The Way courses in the
8th grade. The advanced course is a yearlong elective that gives students a chance to
further apply the concepts learned as 7th graders in the Design class. Another exciting
program is the Alpha or leadership class. This class gives students an opportunity to
participate in school-wide leadership as well as community service at the school, community and global levels. Last year the Alpha class led a school-wide fundraiser which
raised approximately $2,200.00 to help build a school in Ghana.
Again this year we are grateful to have Friday PLC early release Professional Learning
time. This year, as a part of our school mission to “maximize each student’s learning per
class period”, we are committing to data-driven reflection on our work. Using data to
guide our decisions helps us to be more efficient with our time and also more intentional
in how we support each student. An example of how we use data to leverage our intentionality was to start the year with each teacher creating a data profile of each of their
class periods. This information allowed teachers to optimize seating arrangements, create
content-specific interventions to pre-teach concepts to specific groups of students as well
as provide additional support in the classroom.
Though collaboration among ourselves is important, it is equally important that we have
that collaboration and partnership with our parents as well. We need to hear from you,
the good as well as the things that need to be improved upon. That microscope is valuable as well. These are your kids we are caring for and your input on what is working or
not is important for us as we continue to improve. We’ve enjoyed the positive support of
our parents and it gives us confidence as we move forward. Thank you for partnering
with us as we all strive to give our kids the opportunities they deserve.
