Dear East China Families,

As we embark on the second semester of the school year, I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the support, collaboration, and trust you continue to place in our schools. The beginning of a new semester brings with it an exciting opportunity for renewal—a chance to pause, reflect on the progress we’ve made, and set our sights on the future. It’s a time for us all to renew our shared commitment to providing the highest quality education and ensuring the success and support of every student.

The ECSD teachers and staff work tirelessly to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Check out the pictures below to see some of the great things that are happening in our schools. I am incredibly proud of the strides our students have made during the first half of the year, and I am confident that, together, we will continue to build upon that success.

One of the most important aspects of our community’s success is the strong partnership between families and our schools. Your active involvement plays an essential role in your child’s growth, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to stay engaged through ongoing updates and school events. By working hand-in-hand, we can ensure that the second semester is a time of continued growth and achievement for all our students. Thank you for being an integral part of the East China Schools community.

I look forward to all the great things we will accomplish together in the months ahead!

Suzanne Cybulla

Superintendent, East China Schools

Kristy Nickles presented an East China Education Association Making a Difference slideshow at the December 16th, 2024 Board of Education meeting. Each day, one of these slides is being highlighted on our Facebook page. Check it out to see all the great things happening in our district!

From infants to preschool, the East China Early Childhood Center (ECC) is shaping the foundation of tomorrow right here in our community. At ECC, our dedicated, compassionate, and collaborative staff are committed to nurturing the growth and development of every child, creating a safe and supportive environment where young learners can thrive.

Every day at ECC is filled with engaging activities designed to spark curiosity and foster creativity. Inside the classrooms, children participate in hands-on learning experiences and exciting projects that make education fun. Building-wide celebrations bring joy and a sense of community to everyone involved, while outdoor activities encourage exploration and physical development.

Whether it’s creating masterpieces with art supplies, exploring nature in our outdoor spaces, or celebrating milestones together, ECC is a place where young children and their families are supported, celebrated, and prepared for the next steps in their educational journey.

We are proud to be a part of shaping the bright futures of the children in our community!

Each of our district’s elementary schools are represented proudly at the 57th Beatrice Thornton Elementary Art Exhibit at SC4. Elementary artwork will be on display through February 3rd. If you have the opportunity to visit the exhibit, we know you will be most impressed by the talent of our young artists!

Ms. Gardner's Financial Management class from Marine City High School travelled to Mallards Landing to play Life, Monopoly, and Payday with the residents. When they finished their games, they shared financial literacy advice with each other. It was a great visit. Thank you to Mallard's Landing for hosting our students.

Thank you, Sara Black, Art Teacher at St. Clair High School for the amazing selection of artwork. These beautiful pieces brighten up our day.

Each school will have a chance for an Art Wall at Central Office with it changing out each month.

An event for 10th-grade students and their families.
