    • Goal Getters!

      Mrs. Burcham’s 2nd grade class got to RING THE BELL last week after reaching their class goal! 🔔 94% of her students can officially read multisyllable words with short vowel sounds fluently! This is a very important skill for the rest of their year as they begin to transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” and we were so excited to cheer them on for their hard work!👏🏻 #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud

    • Laban's 8 Themes of Movement

      Kindergarten and 1st-grade students are working through Laban's 8 themes of movement in Mrs. Wickless' music class. Rudolph Laban was a Hungarian-born dancer who studied human movement and inspired several generations of dancers and educators. He summed up movement into 4 major categories- space, body, relationship, and effort. Students tried Paper Plate Balancing while listening to different types of music this week to discover how they could move individual parts and not just their whole body. They played a game where they had to balance on different parts and move around but when their plate fell, they had to freeze and wait for someone else to come and give them their plate back and then balance it somewhere new.

    • Relay Run of the Week

      From Mrs. Revels, "Change is uncomfortable. But, it is when we are uncomfortable we see ourselves grow. This teacher has embraced a new role this year that has been out of her comfort zone to say the least. It has been challenging, but she has, and continues to put in the work with a smile and a grateful heart. She has truly taken the baton and ran this year in her new role. Paulo Coehlo said, 'When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.” This week, it is my pleasure to pass the Relay Run of the Week baton to Mrs. Berry."

    • Prideopoly

      Did you know that children can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year? That’s just 16 days or 2 to 3 days a month. And that can add up before you know it. Eastside Elementary is working to give a renewed push to get all kids to school—on time, every day. This year students will earn a square on their PRIDEOPOLY game board for each day their class has 95% percent of students present. After 5 squares have been earned, the class will get to move their game piece to the next incentive! We are so excited to reward students for coming to school!

    • Relay Run of the Week

      Passing the baton... This “runner” always has a positive attitude and is uplifting to others. She goes above and beyond to ensure others know they are valued and important. When she sees something positive she makes sure to point it out! This “runner” used her old yearbook ad-selling skills to guarantee our teacher retreat had the best prizes! Our relay run of the week goes to Mrs. Revels! #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud #eesnolimits

    • 4th Grade 'Smells'!

      As review for testing, 4th grade scientists have been extending their learning about how the brain controls everything they do through taking in stimuli! Yesterday, they performed a ruler drop to measure how long it took their brains to send the message to their arm to catch the ruler. Some of them were as quick as the blink of an eye, literally! Today, the stimulus is smell. They were challenged to find their “family” by only using their sense of smell, no talking allowed. Afterwards, they had a great discussion on how once they smelled the scent, what decisions the brain had to make to help them find their “family”. It’s been a fun day! #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud

    Parent FAQs

      • When is the school day?
        • School day begins at 7:50 a.m. and ends at 3:20 p.m. Car riders should not arrive before 7:25 a.m. Students arriving after 7:50 a.m. and before 8:30 a.m. or leaving between 2:40 to 3:20 p.m. will be considered tardy and must be signed in/out through the office by a parent/guardian. Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. or leaving before 3:00 p.m. will receive a 1⁄2 day absence.
      • When does my child have to be picked up?
        • Car riders must be picked up by 3:40 p.m. Parents/guardians should remain in their cars when picking up their children in the afternoon so that students may be more closely monitored unless a parent needs to speak to school staff. No one will be allowed to wait inside the building.
      • How many days of school can my child miss?
        • Students shall not be absent, as defined in this policy more than 8 days in grades K-5 in a semester. When a student has 4 days in grades K-5 absences, his/her parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis shall be notified that the student has missed half the allowable days for the semester. Notification may be by telephone.
        • Whenever a K-5 student exceeds 8 unexcused days in a semester, the District shall notify the prosecuting authority and the parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis shall be subject to a civil penalty as prescribed by law. A K-5 student with 8 unexcused days in a course in a semester shall not receive credit for that semester. If the student fails to receive credit for a sufficient number of courses and at the discretion of the principal after consultation with persons having knowledge of the circumstances of the absences, the student may be denied promotion. Excessive absences, however, shall not be a reason for expulsion or dismissal of a student.
      • Can I come eat lunch with my child?
        • Yes, we have an outside lunch area set up for parents to eat with students. You must sign in at the office with Ms. Brianna and she will call for your student. 
      • Can I bring cupcakes for my child’s birthday?
        • Unfortunately, you cannot bring cupcakes for your child’s birthday. If you would like to send a special snack, you are welcome to bring something from the approved snack list.
      • What should I do if I have a concern about my child?
        • We ask that you contact your child’s teacher first with any issues. If your child’s teacher is unable to resolve the issue they will direct you to the administrator.
