East Elementary Edition

Dear Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary Parents,

My name is Shelbi Eugenis, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary. With a career in education spanning over two decades since 2002, and eight years of experience as a public school administrator, I am excited to join this wonderful community!

East is a special place, and I am committed to fostering an environment of high expectations and success in all our endeavors. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to support our students in achieving their full potential. I can't wait to meet you!

You can expect a monthly newsletter from me, letting you know all the upcoming events! We will also post updates on our social media accounts, and our teachers will keep you informed with weekly student folders as well as interaction on Seesaw. Our goal is to keep you informed of everything happening at East!

We have our PK/Kinder camp on August 12th from 1pm-2pm, followed by our Open House for all other grade levels from 2pm-4pm. I look forward to meeting you there!

Sincerely,

Shelbi Eugenis

• First Day of the School Year

For the 2024-2025 school year, East Elementary has qualified to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students through the Community Eligibility Provision. This is great news, and we are so grateful for this opportunity!

WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S.® school. During the day, WatchDOGS may read and work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well. On the day of their participation, WatchDOGS are given a brief review of their involvement and they wear an official WATCH D.O.G.S. tshirt and lanyard that identifies them as school Watch D.O.G.

So we need all dads, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures to come learn more about this program, have some pizza with us, and sign up to help! We will meet on Tuesday, September 17th at 6:00pm in our school cafeteria! See you then!
