Heights Happenings

Eastern Heights Elementary School, May 2025

Greetings Eastern Heights Elementary Families

As we head into the final month of the school year, we want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership. It’s been an incredible year full of learning, growth, and joyful moments. Let’s finish strong and celebrate all that our students have accomplished!

There are a lot of fun things planned for May, kicking off with our campus-wide International Festival this Thursday beginning at 4:30pm. Please join us for great food, entertainment, raffle baskets and giveaways for all Eastern Heights Elementary students.

Keep the learning going all summer long by trying some of the following:

Check out the local library ~ many have summer reading programs your child can participate in.
Let your child check out books that interest them and set aside 20-30 minutes/day for quiet reading.
Ask your child to join you when you cook or bake ~ lots of Math practice can be done in the kitchen!
At the grocery store, ask your child to read product names and discuss prices and budgeting.
Give your student the chance to follow 2-3 step directions (see suggestions below).

Your involvement makes our school a better place. Whether you volunteered, attended conferences, or helped with homework—we see you and appreciate you!

We hope you have a safe, fun, and restful summer. See you in August for another great year!

It's A Great Day To Be A Pioneer!

Mrs. Brenda Wittman

Principal

A Note from Mrs. Adams

Hello Families,

It is crazy how quickly this school year has gone by and I want to thank you so much for welcoming me to your EHES family this year! I have absolutely loved getting to know each of your students and am so excited to see what next year brings.

With that being said, I am also hoping to better plan for our Students of the Month celebrations. If you would please consider filling out the brief survey linked here, I would very much appreciate your feedback!

I hope that you all have a wonderful summer!

EASTERN HEIGHTS CAMPUS TRAFFIC

Campus traffic rules are in place to keep all students and staff safe during arrival and dismissal times. We appreciate you honoring these rules to keep everyone safe!

Drive slowly and stay alert while on campus; refrain from cell phone use while driving on campus
Follow all building staff directions while driving on campus
Use crosswalks when walking your children to & from the building
Cars must not stop in a crosswalk; while cars are waiting to move, crosswalks must be free for people to cross
Cars should enter campus for drop off and pick up at the Prospect/Cornell entrance and follow the ring road around campus. Using this entrance allows the smoothest flow of traffic.
There is no parking in the pickup lane during drop off or dismissal
Cars should make only 1 lane of traffic on the campus (inside lane closest to the building); do not pull out and pass cars that are in the pick-up lane
Cars should refrain from entering the bus lane on the north side of the building; this lane is used for all ECS busses as well as all daycare and after school program vans.
Drop-off & pickup your student using the spaces between the 2 orange cones directly in front of the building

Thank you for helping us make drop-off & pickup safety the #1 priority!

Safety Drills

With safety as a top priority of the Eastern Heights Campus staff, we want you to be aware that you may see us outside practicing a safety drill. Part of this practice includes having drills during chilly days or on days that there is a little rain or snow. If you see students outside near dismissal, please remember to drive slowly and/or stop to allow the drill to proceed safely. And, be sure to have your student dress appropriately for the weather and know that we practice these drills with all our students to keep everyone safe!
