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

Light Up Learning
1st Graders Are Lighting Up Learning! Our 1st grade students are taking their curiosity to the next level with a hands-on science experiment in Enrichment this week inspired by Ellie Electricity! After reading this exciting story, they applied their new knowledge about circuits to create light-up Christmas cards using LED lights and batteries. These little engineers combined creativity, science, and holiday cheer to bring their cards to life! #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud

4th Grade Authors

'Y' swatter!
1st graders were learning the phonics rule for when to use a y for a long i sound! Mrs. Berry committed this sound to memory by having students listen for words that ended with the long i sound. When they heard a word that followed the pattern they would swat their ‘fly’ with their ‘y’ swatter!

Whatever It Takes Award
For our October Whatever It Takes award, we want to show specific appreciation to an important staff member of Eastside Elementary School. “Ms. Stacey” is an exemplar of calm, focused, positive support for young learners experiencing difficulty with self regulation. She serves as their guide, model, counselor, instructional aide, and confidant. The love and support she has poured into Eastside students for the last few years has resulted in many students becoming successful learners and leaders. Her empathy shines through some of the most challenging moments with students and has led to teachers and other staff being more thoughtful in how they interact with students when they are not “learning ready”. Mrs. Kinsman has enhanced a culture of kindness and high expectations for staff and students at Eastside. Her legacy will have a long term impact on our school! We are #GreenbrierProud to present her with the October Whatever It Takes award.

- 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.
