Elementary families are invited to get a sneak peek at life at Escalante Middle School during EMS Welcome Night on Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 5 to 6 p.m. in the EMS Cafetorium (141 Baker Lane).

This fun, low-pressure evening is designed especially for students in grades 3-5 and their families from our feeder schools — Park, Sunnyside, Florida Mesa, and Fort Lewis Mesa elementary schools. It’s a chance to step inside EMS, meet staff and students, and see what middle school is really like.

Families will have the opportunity to explore the school, learn about classes, clubs, and hands-on learning experiences, and get a feel for the welcoming, supportive community that defines EMS. From creative electives to project-based learning and strong relationships with teachers, EMS is a place where students grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.

If you’re starting to think about middle school options, or if your child has questions or nerves about what comes next, this is the perfect chance to see EMS in action and imagine the exciting years ahead.

For any questions, please call EMS's front office at 970-247-9490.
