School Expectations

Utilizing research-based best teaching and learning practices, students learn the rigorous academic curriculum through a project- based, hands-on study of the environment. This rigorous study is based on local, state, and national standards with an in-depth emphasis on environmental issues.  Innovative and challenging learning activities allow students to make connections between their experiences, those of others, and our environment.  This enables our students to successfully prepare for the future and become keenly aware that they are an integral part of a complex global society.

School-wide Behavioral Expectations
ESM uses the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) framework to help build a positive school climate and culture.  Click here to read more about PBIS. We have school-wide expectations which are taught and monitored. Students earn incentives for positive behaviors. Students who earn HAWK Talon Tokens can visit the school store to purchase movie passes, uniforms, agendas, and other assorted items. Teachers meet weekly to review programs and data which help address areas of concerns before they become problems. PBIS is a proactive, positive, and preventative process which is very effective in motivating students.

At ESM all students, faculty, staff, parents, and guests will follow the HAWKS Rule by:

Having Respect
Acting Responsible
Working Together
Keeping Safe
Soaring to Success
