Mission

The Mission of Eastlake Middle School is to provide high levels of learning in a safe and respectful environment.

Vision

Empowering our future leaders.

We will continue making phone calls and sending letters home for pending balances at the campus level. Please note that any student with any balance (lunch, fundraiser or technology) will not be able to take part in any campus event such as dances. Please take care of your campus balances. You can see pending lunch balances by logging into My SchoolBucks.

October marks the annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes Event. Mr. Berumen and Mr. Agness are both representing our campus. It is a fundraiser in support of survivors of domestic violence at YWCA.

Fall Sports: Softball, Baseball & Soccer

We welcome all Eastlake MS students to become Raven Readers! Students are expected to check-out and read at least 4 books every marking period to support their literacy. To best encourage this, we provide a great selection of books students will be interested in picking for independent reading, including graphic novels!

The library is promoting different types of books through displays. We invite you to check them out!

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer? While we are still finalizing our date for the informational meeting, you can complete your district background check now through this link. https://my.sisd.net/public_apps/dps-cch-public/#!/home/

Background checks must be done yearly with them being valid from July 1 to June 30 of the current school year. You will need to be cleared by the district and attend one of our orientations. The orientations will allow you to learn about the process of coming into the campus and the various opportunities available. More information about these orientations will be shared once finalized.

We would love to have your help!
