Eastwood Heights Parent Update

EHES Families,

We hope you had a fantastic and restful spring break! We’re excited to welcome our students back on Tuesday, March 18, refreshed and ready to take on the 4th nine weeks. As we step into the 4th nine weeks, we are ready to finish the school year strong. Our students have been working hard, and with your continued support, we know they will soar even higher!

This week, we’re celebrating Read Across America with fun dress-up days to bring our favorite books to life! For our 3rd-5th grade students, STAAR testing is right around the corner. Now is the time to encourage focus, confidence, and determination as they prepare to shine! Meanwhile, our PK-2nd grade students are making incredible strides in their reading journeys. Every book, every word, and every moment spent reading helps build a strong foundation for future success.

Let’s make this a week full of learning, laughter, and literacy! Eagle Up—Together We Rise! 💙📚✨
