Principal’s Message

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year. I am extremely excited to serve as the principal of Earlimart Middle School and thrilled to be grafted into the Earlimart School District family. This will be my 22nd year of serving in the field of education. I spent 15 years as a high school English teacher and the remainder of my years serving in administrative roles as well as working as an instructional content consultant at Kings County Office of Education.

I’m looking forward to partnering with the Earlimart community and families to provide our Earlimart Middle School students with a safe, welcoming campus. Middle school is a unique time for students and my goal is that our students will not only create wonderful memories, but will grow academically, discover and utilize their talents, and learn skills that will help them be successful throughout their lives. Our priority is that students thrive and feel a sense of belonging at Earlimart Middle School.

EMS has another new addition to the team. I would like to welcome our new vice principal, Mrs. Isabel Flores. Mrs. Flores has been working in the Earlimart District since 2016. Mrs. Flores is passionate about serving students and the community of Earlimart. She will be a wonderful addition to the Earlimart Middle School family.

Our first day of school is August 9th and the EMS team has been working hard to prepare for the arrival of students. Know that we value and appreciate the input and involvement of our students’ families. Please spend time reviewing the contents and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

May you have a wonderful 2023-2024 school year!

Sincerely,

Janice Shinault

Earlimart Middle School Principal
