Eastside Elementary
March Newsletter 2023
From the Principal
Happy March!
Read Across America Week and celebrating Dr. Seuss is a wonderful way to close out the month of February and start March off with some fun!
Below are a few updates for the month of March.
Spring Break
School will be closed for spring break during the week of March 20th through March 24th.
Literacy Luau
Our Bingo for Books Literacy Luau will be Thursday, March 9 from 5:30 to 7:00. You should have received a flier. Be sure to fill out the short RSVP form and return it to your child’s teacher. We look forward to seeing you there!
Temporary Virtual Education
The school district is currently working on a plan for Temporary Virtual Education (TVE). TVE would be implemented in the event that we have a snow day or for other reasons when we might need to temporarily close the school building. The purpose of TVE is to keep students learning while also avoiding the necessity to make up a school day due to inclement weather. Stay tuned for information regarding what this would look like at the elementary level.
Eastside Makerspace
Eastside has a Makerspace! Be on the lookout for communication regarding after school programs as well as awesome learning opportunities our students have with this new resource.
Principal Parent Focus Group
This is a time set aside for parents to meet with Mr. Gallagher. The purpose of this meeting is for parents to ask questions and share feedback. Mr. Gallagher will also share some of the work that teams are doing at Eastside. This is an opportunity to gain some insight to the operations of Eastside, how decisions are made, as well as provide feedback on decisions. We will meet from 8:00 to 8:45 AM on Friday, March 3rd in the Eastside library.
PTK
Our PTK meets the first Thursday of each month. March’s meeting is Thursday, March 2nd at 3:30. Childcare is provided. We encourage all parents to attend!
Here’s to another great month at Eastside!
Mr. Gallagher
Learn Together, SOAR Together, the Key is Me.
