Eastview Update

Eastview Families,

Welcome back to another school year! We hope you’ve had a relaxing and enjoyable summer! Our staff has been working hard to prepare for the 2024-2025 school year. We are excited to welcome students back to school in just a few weeks! Thank you in advance for your support of our Eastview family; we are confident that your child will have a positive experience with us. I will be communicating this year through a monthly newsletter that will keep everyone up to date on what is going on at Eastview. If you ever need anything, have questions, or want to talk, please reach out to me.

Enjoy these last few weeks of summer! We cannot wait to see you soon!

Principal, Eastview

I wanted to send a quick thank you the the PTA for their generous donation last year. With the money donated, we were able to purchase all new benches near the main entrance and brand new bike rikes for the students to use. Thank you for always supporting the staff and students.

We have a few staffing updates for this year:

Ms. Schrift is coming over from Redwood and will be teaching Kindergarten.

Mrs. Delotel is coming over to us from Erieview and she will be joining our 3rd Grade team.

Mrs. Roof is moving from 2nd Grade to 3rd Grade.

Mrs. McGraw will be teaching Art this year.

Mrs. Eckert will be at Learwood most of the day and at Eastview at the end of the day.

Sign- Out

To ensure the safety and security of our students at Eastview Elementary we ask that if you are picking your child up early from school, you bring your identification card to the office when signing your child out. Our office staff will ask you to identify yourself and hold your ID card up to the window for verification. This will help us ensure you are a safe adult for one of our children. While we understand this procedure can be frustrating, especially if you have to go back to your car for your identification, we are doing this to keep everyone safe and secure. Thank you in advance for cooperating with this very important procedure.

Tardy Sign-in & Dropping Off Items

To promote safety, we will be limiting guests entering our Main Office areas. Therefore, parents needing to drop off items at the school will be doing so within the double door vestibule areas, where a table will be set up to leave the marked item(s) example: lunchbox. This table will also have a sign-in area if your child were to arrive late due to a given reason. Guests can always push the buzzer to ask questions with the office personnel.

Reporting Procedure for Absence

When students are absent, parents/guardians are requested to call the Attendance Line (440) 930-8294 before 9:00 am on the day of the absence. The following information must be provided when reporting an absence. (Email should not be used to report student absences)

· Student name

· Date of absence

· Teacher’s name

· Reason for absence

Students who arrive tardy to school are to report directly to the office with a parent or adult. No student should go to class without reporting to the office first. Parents are asked to send a signed note with the child upon return from an absence. The attendance line is available 24 hours a day (440) 930-8294

SAIL (Safe-Accountable-Integrity-Leader)

SAIL is an acronym we use in conjunction with the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Supports) Model. The main focus of PBIS is to provide a clear system for all expected behaviors at school. Through PBIS we work together to create and maintain a productive and safe environment in which all school community members clearly understand the shared expectations for behavior. Through positive recognition and continual teaching of expectations, students experience academic and social growth.

Define Behavioral Expectations - A small number of behavioral expectations are positively stated and clearly defined.

Teach Behavioral Expectations - The behavioral expectations are taught to all students in a real context. Behavioral expectations are taught using the same teaching methods used in academic curriculum (Teach, Model, and Practice).

Acknowledge Appropriate Behavior - Once appropriate behaviors have been defined and taught they will be acknowledged on a regular basis. Eastview Elementary School has developed a system that acknowledges expected behavior using building wide PBIS Rewards.

Correct Behavior Errors - When students violate behavioral expectations they are informed that their behavior is unacceptable. Clear procedures are used to direct students to appropriate behavior.

Students’ classroom teachers are accessible within PowerSchool. Please log in to your child’s account to find their teacher for the 24-25 school year. Please contact the office if you a have any questions.

Due to the increased number of potentially severe food allergies (peanut, tree nut, eggs, seeds, gluten, sugar, dairy etc.) our elementary schools have adopted a "non-edible" birthday treat policy. This means that all birthday treats that are brought into school must be non-food items. Some examples of acceptable non-edible treats include: pencils, stickers, temporary tattoos, erasers, silly bands, or any other similar item. We still want to celebrate this important day in your child's life; we just want to do it in a manner that all children can participate in.

Criteria for entrance into SOAR, the districts elementary Gifted program includes a score at the 95th percentile or higher in Math and/or Reading on the MAPs beginning in Grade 2, in addition to a cognitive score of 124 or higher. Service is guided by a Written Education Plan (WEP). Students will participate in a once-weekly full-day pullout immersion program which includes standards-based enrichment in all content areas, opportunities to participate in competitions, development of critical thinking skills, and county-wide enrichment programs. If you have any questions please contact Kristen Morris at kristen.morris@avonlakecityschools.org
