Fire Alarm

On Tuesday, May 17 we had a fire alarm at approximately 2:20 pm. While it is challenging to have an alarm sound so close to our 2:30 pm dismissal, we want to remind students that any type of emergency alarm needs to be taken seriously. It is important that we follow our emergency procedures, which include student and staff reporting to preassigned check points so that attendance can be taken. Some students left their assigned areas to go to their cars in an attempt to leave early, this made it challenging to get accurate attendance. Safety is always our first priority, and ensuring that all students and staff are accounted for is imperative.

Ukrainian Scouting Group Project

Essex North Shore will be contributing to the Plast Ukrainian Group’s ongoing effort to help save lives and raise awareness about the war in Ukraine within our school community. More information can be found here.

The Class of 2025 will assemble the PFAKs in school and have an opportunity to earn Community Service hours towards their graduation requirement. Each PFAK will include a small note/sticker indicating Essex North Shore, Massachusetts USA supports Ukraine. Staff, students, and caretakers can donate $5.00 cash to Ms. Kelley in the Main Office, or by check payable to ENSATS to Ms. Kelley. All donations are due by Friday, June 3, 2022. Thank you for your continued support and consideration.
