There are exciting opportunities for students to participate in. We are in our 5th year of developing and expanding the 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 expands on the concepts of 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. Our students have been the drivers behind several fundraisers for schools in impoverished countries as well as making their mark here at home. Our gifted and talented students also receive services through the District-wide Highly Capable program.
SCHOOL PROFILE
Welcome to Enumclaw Middle School. We are proud to represent the Enumclaw School District focus: ensuring the equity of all students achieving at high levels.
At EMS, we believe that learning encompasses more than just academics.
In addition to superior instruction, we continue to grow our work in student leadership, student connection to school for social and emotional growth, and digital citizenship.
Student voice is paramount at Enumclaw Middle School. Our ASB and Leadership students have identified “The Strength of the Pack” as our 2023-24 theme. Our weekly Timberwolf Show and monthly classroom discussions, both led by leadership students, are designed to promote positive character traits and an inclusive environment that puts kids in the driver’s seat leading to a positive culture that discourages harassment, bullying, and intimidation throughout the school.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to have staff time together on Fridays for Professional Learning Communities. We are committed to data-driven reflection and decision-making that help us be more efficient with our time and also more intentional in how we support each student.
Though collaboration among ourselves is important, it is equally important that we collaborate and partner with our families. We need to hear from you. These are your children we are caring for, and your input on what is working or not is important for us as we continue to improve.
At EMS, we believe when students, families, and staff come together, we are purposefully learning from one another.
We welcome your open and honest feedback. Feedback is accepted face-to-face, written, or electronically. Please send written and electronic information to the school building’s main office or the District office. We also offer a variety of committees that parents and citizens can participate in.
