Eastside Elementary
October Newsletter 2023
From the Principal
Eastside Families,
The first weeks of the 2023-2024 school year have been amazing! Our students and team have settled into the daily routines of learning.
Below are a few updates for the month of October.
Fastbridge
Teachers will be sharing assessment results from fall assessments during PT conferences. These reports provide a brief snapshot of where your child is performing in reading and math, in relation to their peers at their grade at Eastside as well as their peers nationally. Teachers will also be sharing information for students who are receiving extra support in reading.
WY-TOPP
WY-TOPP (Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress) reports for students in grades 4 and 5 will be mailed home this month. These reports are results from last spring’s test.
If you ever have questions about assessment information please contact your child’s teacher.
Safety
Safety and security is a top priority for us. One of the situations we plan for is when we have to leave the school property in the event of a crisis, and reunify with parents at a separate location. During the month of October teachers will be talking with students about this, and what that process looks like for our school.
If you have any questions about this please let your child’s teacher know.
Art
Park 6 is partnering with Northwest College to provide art instruction for our students. We have art classes starting back up on Thursdays and Fridays.
Barrus Color Run
In September Eastside hosted the first annual Cheryl Barrus Color Run. This is a fundraiser to support the Barrus scholarship fund. Scholarships are given each spring to graduating seniors who are former Eastside students. We raised $3920 for this scholarship fund. A huge success! We appreciate our Eastside and Cody communities for coming out to support this great cause in remembrance of a champion educator, Mrs. Barrus.
As a reminder, there is no school on October 9th and 10th.
Here’s to an outstanding October!
