    • Teacher of the Year!

      It is with great pride and admiration that we announce our Eastside Teacher of the Year — a true champion for kids, health, and learning! Born and raised in Holland, Arkansas, and a Greenbrier graduate she has dedicated over two decades to teaching kindergarten at both Eastside and Wooster Elementary. For the past four years, she’s served as our innovative physical education teacher at Eastside, and now also supports students as a kindergarten interventionist. Her passion for student wellness is unmatched — she launched the Arkansas Heart Challenge in honor of her nephew, Brody Wilcox, brought balance bikes to our youngest learners to teach them how to ride, and her most recent idea was creating Family Fitness Buckets that promote active play at home. She also leads our Little Dribblers and running club, and this year organized the most unforgettable Math, Science, and Wellness night with Cast and Dash. When she's not leading at Eastside you can find her cheering on those Panthers and her two sons Cannon and Cooper. She’s a difference-maker, a trailblazer, and a beloved member of our school family. Please help me congratulate our Eastside 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year — Coach Cassie Wilcox! #EESlegacy ##GreenbrierProud

    • Mrs. Berry's cooking show!

      5th grade mathematicians were surprised to see their classroom turned into a bakery! Students went on a “cooking show” but had multiple obstacles to cross before they got on the actual show that included adding and subtracting fractions. When they finally go to the end and to the cooking show, they got to work with their co-hosts to make sprinkle chow! 🧑‍🍳🩷

    • Family Fitness Buckets: Encouraging Active Fun at Home

      Our school is thrilled to introduce a new program designed to promote physical activity and family engagement: Family Fitness Buckets! This innovative idea, created by our dedicated PE teacher, Coach Wilcox, provides K-5 students with the opportunity to check out buckets filled with fun, interactive games to play at home with their families. Students can borrow a bucket for one week, enjoying quality time while staying active together. To make it even more exciting, every student who returns their bucket and all its items will be entered into a drawing for a special prize that encourages movement and gameplay at home. This program was made possible by the generous support of WoodmenLife, Conway Chapter through Michael West, who donated items to help complete the Family Fitness Buckets. Their contribution ensures that our students have access to engaging tools to stay active and healthy. A huge thank you to Coach Wilcox for her creativity and dedication to our students' well-being and to WoodmenLife for their generosity. Together, we’re building stronger families and a healthier community! Stay tuned to see how our students and families are enjoying their Family Fitness Buckets! #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.
