A Message From Mrs. Gabriela Elliott, Campus Principal
Greetings Ravens! It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2024-25 school year. I am excited to begin what promises to be a year filled with Imagination, Believe and Achievement. Our dedicated teachers return July 29 and will be working diligently to prepare for the return of our Raven Scholars, August 5, 2024.
I am honored and humbled to be serving you and working alongside each and every one of you, as we embark in a new journey together. I am beyond grateful to be in the community, as we start our 2nd year together. I am looking forward to receiving everyone back and getting to know all our new Ravens.
Our theme for the new school year is "Imagine, Believe, Achieve" and "All In". Let's continue achieving success together. I am all in!!!! Are you? Together, we will ensure that Eastlake Middle School is the best for our Mighty Raven Scholars.
Parents, we know that it takes the commitment of both home and school for our students to reach their highest potential. As partners, we share the responsibility for our scholars’ success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of our scholars. We ask that you guide and support your scholars in their learning by ensuring that he/she:
1. Attends school daily and arrives on time. School starts at 7:45am with grab and go breakfast. Sit down breakfast will be from 7:15-7:40am in the Raven Cafeteria. Class announcements begin promptly at 7:50am and 1st period begins Class will begins at 8:00am.
2. Completes all assignments/redo's.
3. Reads daily to develop love for reading and to improve literacy skills, 15-20 minutes.
4. Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life
5. Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject
6. Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go to college.
Please mark your calendars for Open House: August 3, 2024 at 10:00am-11:30am. We will have informational booths, and you will have an opportunity to familiarize with the building and meet the teachers in person. The first day of school for all students is Monday, August 5, 2024. Our school hours are from 7:45am to 3:30pm.
The building opens for scholars at 7:15am at the west student drop off area. Scholars arriving prior to 7:40am may report to the cafeteria for breakfast. Those arriving by or after 7:40am will have grab and go breakfast and report directly to their classroom. We will have monitors in every hall supervising. Any students being dropped off before 7:15 need to enter through the front entrance and report to our Raven Cafeteria.
The wonderful Raven Staff and I feel privileged to be a part of this beautiful community and a part of your child's lives and education. With your support, we will continue to develop the very real gifts and talents of all of our students. Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me or any of the Eastlake Middle School Staff, if you have additional questions. I will continue sending monthly and weekly newsletters through Thrillshare and post them on our school website to keep you informed and involved throughout the school year. Also, please follow us on Twitter for daily highlights and announcements: @Eastlake_Middle. We look forward to meeting you soon.
Respectfully,
Gabriela Elliott, Proud Raven Principal

As our Raven Scholars return to school, it is very important that parents ensure that their child’s immunizations are up to date. School required immunizations reduce the risk of diseases that can be prevented by vaccines. If your child is not up to date with their immunizations, now is the time to take them to their primary physician or clinic such as Immunize El Paso who has started the Vax2School Initiative for the new school year. Please visit immunizeelpaso.org for further information on their locations and hours. For more information on the minimum immunization requirements in Texas schools, please visit the Texas Department of State Health Services at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/default.shtm
Drop Off and Pick Up
Please note parent drop off and pick up is on the west side only. Visitor front parking is limited to handicap and those coming to front office. We have seen some parents picking up in the front. This poses a safety issue. We will be monitoring the front entrance again to ensure everyone is safe.
