Welcome, bienvenido, re’server un bon accueil a’ gu, In Kwan dehna metah,
East Silver Spring [ESS] reflects the world. Did you know that twenty-three different languages are spoken in the homes of our ESS students? The diversity of our school community provides a rich and stimulating environment for all. I would like to share an important message from myself, Ms. Couchman, and the ESS staff. We celebrate and welcome our new families and our returning students and families. ESS is a distinctive community that is made up of cultures that represent a variety of countries and cultures that have a rich history in the area and families who have recently arrived from their home country.
We are excited about our first fifth grade class and are delighted that the transition from primary to a Pre-K through fifth grade school is complete. The result of this transition is a larger student body as well as a larger and updated school campus. We continue to celebrate the academic and social success of all of our students. Our student success is a result of the hard work and commitment of the ESS staff, students and parents.
Every year school staff set goals for the school year and develop a School Improvement Plan [SIP] based on data from the year before. Data is collected throughout each school year related to student performance [state, county and informal assessments], family needs [parent surveys], safety and security and school environment [parent and staff surveys] is collected throughout each school. We welcome feedback from all stakeholders [parents, staff and students] and believe that consistent communication ensures continued success for all students at ESS.
Welcome to our ESS website. Please enjoy the numerous articles and photos about special events, resources and the ESS parent newsletters.
