Principal’s Message…
Hello! My name is Chris Hahn and I am privileged to to serve the students and staff of the Elk Mound Middle School. I am eager to begin another incredible school year and help the students of Elk Mound grow and develop.
This is my fifth year as the principal of Elk Mound Middle School. Prior to that, I was a 4th grade teacher at Mound View Elementary School for 10 years. In my time in Elk Mound, I have learned the great support we receive from our community and am thankful to be able to serve the district in any way possible.
Elk Mound Middle School has an incredibly talented team of teachers and staff that are willing to go above and beyond to help all of our students experience success. We are thrilled you have chosen Elk Mound Middle School for your student and we will do everything in our power to give your child the best possible education. We believe it is extremely important for families and teachers to work together to ensure the growth of all children. Teachers will do their best to reach out to each family as needed.
The middle school years are all about exploring who our students are as learners and individuals. There is no doubt that middle school years can be some of the most challenging, yet rewarding times of our lives. The EMMS staff and I care deeply about the lives of our students, both in and outside of school. Whether it's your child's first year or last at EMMS, they will be amazed by the opportunities we provide.
Please take time to talk with your student about ways to get involved in one or multiple extra-curricular options. If at any time you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me or any of the staff at EMMS for assistance.
We are so proud of our school and district and look forward to the best year yet!
Go Mounders!!!
Your Partner in Education,
Chris Hahn

Appealing Curriculum
Reading
We believe reading is the gateway to learning and there is no more important homework than reading. In order to achieve excellence, whether in sports, or the arts, practice is critical. The same applies to reading; daily reading practice is imperative to becoming a good reader. We use a variety of approaches to teach reading including independent reading and Accelerated Reader.
Mathematics
We believe in teaching mathematics with an emphasis on problem solving while still keeping a focus on basic facts and skills. We utilize the New York Engage Math Curriculum in fifth through eight grade as our core curriculum.
Enrichment Opportunities
We believe in the importance of educating the whole child. To accomplish this we value the special subjects of art, music and physical education. We also place an emphasis on technology and promote the use of technology in our instruction.
School Management
We have school wide expectation to be respectful, responsible, and safe. The PBIS system allows us to celebrate the positive traits our students, staff, and community exhibit.
