➕✖️ Happy Public Schools Week! ➗➖

This week, we're putting the spotlight on our phenomenal Math teachers at East Forsyth Middle School! 🐦‍⬛

Our Math team doesn't just teach numbers — they're constantly refining their craft, pushing themselves to grow right alongside our Ravens. They help students set meaningful goals, track their progress, and celebrate every step forward — because here, growth matters just as much as the grade.

To our Math team — thank you for proving that with the right mindset, every problem has a solution! 💪

🏫During #PublicSchoolsWeek, we want to take a moment to celebrate the heartbeat of our school community — our Encore teachers! 💙

Behind every student who discovers a love of painting, masters a new language, builds something with their own hands, learns to cook a meal, plays their first song, or runs their first mile is a dedicated Encore educator cheering them on.

Our Art, Music, PE, Foreign Language, CTE, and FACS teachers enrich our students' education in ways that last a lifetime. We are so grateful for your dedication, creativity, and heart.

Please join us in thanking these amazing educators this week and every week! 👏

📚 This Public Schools Week, we want to take a moment to honor the ELA teachers who make East Forsyth Middle School a place where Ravens SOAR. 🐦‍⬛

You teach our students more than reading and writing — you teach them empathy, critical thinking, and the courage to express themselves. The impact you make goes far beyond the classroom walls, and we are so grateful for everything you do. 💙🖤

🏫 Today, during #PublicSchoolsWeek, we're shouting out our amazing Social Studies teachers! 🌍

From our dual language classrooms where students explore history, culture, geography, and civics in two languages, to lessons rooted right here in our own community — our social studies teachers make the world come alive for every student.

They don't just teach history. They help students see themselves IN it. Thank you for all you do to make our public school amazing. 🙌

Thursday - February 5: Remote Learning Day Five

We miss our students and families so much! While we work remotely, our science teachers are clearly still experimenting with momentum, trajectory, and force. Looks like someone became the target of some excellent applied physics! ❄️

We'll be continuing with day five remote learning activities tomorrow as we ensure all areas around the district are safe for everyone's return. Your safety is always our top priority.

Stay warm and we'll see you soon!

Hey, Ravens! ❄️

While you're all cozy at home, your math teachers couldn't resist putting their measurement skills to work! 📏.

We hope you're staying safe and warm today. Maybe you're even measuring the snow in your own backyard? If so, we'd love to hear how much you got!

Stay warm and keep being awesome, Ravens! 💙

⛸️Since ice skating is not the preferred method to arrive at school—and so many neighborhoods and even our own school parking lot have not yet been treated—WSFCS has declared that Friday, January 30, will also be a remote learning day.

Please complete the third row of your remote learning sheet, and remember to stay safe and warm! ❄️

❄️Remote Learning Second Edition ❄️

Our district has called for another remote learning day on Thursday, January 29! That means one more day of cozy learning from home.

📚 What to do: Students should complete the second row of tasks (Day Two) on their remote learning sheet. No technology is needed to complete these tasks.

🧊 Stay safe out there! Those icy roads and chilly temps aren't going anywhere just yet, so please keep your families warm and safe indoors. Hot cocoa and blanket forts are strongly encouraged (okay, maybe not required, but definitely recommended)!

❓ Questions? We're here to help - just reach out. Our staff directory can be found at: https://winstonsalemforsythcsnc.sites.thrillshare.com/o/efms/staff

Remote Learning Day Two
Virtual Learning - English
Virtual Learning - Spanish

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools has implemented a remote learning day on Wednesday, January 28. EFMS students received paper copies of their assignments on January 23; they only need to complete a single day of work to count as present on Wednesday, January 28. Work can be completed on lined paper and turned in when students return to school.

Important: To avoid confusion, all students will be completing the same tasks regardless of grade level.

Additional copies are available here: https://winstonsalemforsythcsnc.sites.thrillshare.com/o/efms/documents/24887583

These assignments are designed to be completed without printed materials or computer access. We encourage students to do their best with the work provided.

Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and families during this time. Please stay safe and warm.
