What to expect at EMS in the year 2012-2013
This year we are very excited
to continue to build on some
of the very positive things that
we have going on at EMS. Our
GEMS program continues to
be host a myriad of opportunities
for our students. AVID
continues to achieve to great
lengths and broaden the learning
experiences of our students.
Our teachers continue
to participate in staff meetings
and professional development,
as staying current with best
teaching practices is one of our
utmost concerns. Our API
scores continue to climb, as
we continue our quest to exit
the Program Improvement
status. Thanks to the hard
work and dedication by our
teachers and our students, and
the added recommendations of
the Alternative Governance
Board, we continue to achieve
to high expectations. California
districts continue to suffer
through some economic hardships.
Nonetheless, we at EMS
are committed to give our
students excellent opportunities
of school connectedness.
Through our current clubs and
activities, as well as plans to
implement a PLUS program
and other intervention activities,
we will continue to work
hard to achieve to great
lengths. We will continue to
let our R.O.A.R. show and
develop character and integrity.
Let the year
begin!
Our Mission
Through collaboration with
the entire professional
educational community, the
staff will provide a student
centered, consistent program
of instruction, showing yearly
academic gains in an
environment that considers
the emotional, social,
psychological, and physical

Waterwheels were used in
Rome over 2,000 years ago
to grind corn. Water power
is still
used
in
parts
of the

The smallest bird in the
world is the bee hummingbird
of Cuba. It is 5.7 cm
(2.25 in) long, of which
nearly half comprises its
beak. It is
smaller than
many of the butterflies
in the
rain forest where
it lives.
Ninety-six per
cent of salt water
is pure water.
There is 3 per
