Top Tigers
Every month we will celebrate excellent student behavior and character traits. We had several Top Tigers for August! Way to go!
Good Behavior is a Big "Dill" at East!
In our lunchroom, good behavior is rewarded by our Big "Dill" award. The class with the best behavior for the week gets to keep Mr. Dill in their class for the week. This morning over daily announcements, Mrs. Pearcey's class was declared our first winner!
Breakfast and Books!
Our first Breakfast and Books will be this month on September 18th from 7:30-8:00 AM. We will meet at the Free Little Library outside- weather permitting. Our Guest Reader will be Miss Edda! We hope to see you there!
PTA Updates
Our first PTA meeting will be on September 9 at 6:00 PM in the Cafeteria. We will introduce the PTA Board members and talk about the events that the PTA will be doing for the school year. We will also have a guest speaker. Her name is Jami Glenn and she is the counselor at the Dream Center and owner of Sacred Ground Coaching. This will be geared towards parents/home setting and will be about children’s brains and boundaries.
We would like to thank everyone for helping make the Back to School Bash such a success and so much fun!!
Red Friday
Every Friday the entire community shows Ozark Pride by wearing red. We encourage everyone to show their Ozark Tiger pride by wearing red!
Picture Day- October 8th
Please make plans to be at school on October 8th!!! Pictures start first thing in the morning. Avoid wearing green because Jostens uses a green screen to take pictures. Be sure to bring those beautiful smiles!
Reminder- Policy Regarding Student Use of Smartwatches and Call Phones
