The weather is changing! It’s that time of year when the weather can be unpredictable. Please make sure students are dressed appropriately. With colder weather moving in, please make sure that students are wearing heavy coats, hats, and gloves as needed for the cold mornings at the bus stop as well as outside recess. We will have outdoor recess on most days as long as temps do not go below the district threshold.

Safety and security of our students, staff, and visitors is a priority at Eastridge Elementary. In order to enhance the level of security for school visitors, the district has implemented the Raptor visitor management system at all nine elementary schools.

All visitors will be required to show a valid, government-issued ID at the front desk upon entering the building. We appreciate the cooperation and support of our families in maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for all.

Just a reminder that students DO NOT HAVE school on Tuesday, November 5. This is a professional development day for teachers. School will not be in session.

Have a great week ahead!

Warren's High Ability Program is designed to meet the unique academic needs of gifted and talented students. The curriculum in these classes is differentiated and faster paced and students will be working above grade level if they qualify. As a district, we look at all students in grades 1, 4, 6 and 8 to see if they qualify for the following school year based on eligibility criteria. Parent recommendations are considered along with achievement scores when determining placement in high ability. More detailed identification information can be found here. If you would like to complete a recommendation for the broad based planning committee to consider you can do so here 2020-2021 High Ability Parent Recommendation Form The parent recommendation form will be open until January 31, 2020.

Please note that in the mornings you and your student must be in line and unloaded by 8:03 am at door #13. The door will lock automatically at 8:03 am and you will then need to bring your student to the front office for drop off. Any students dropped off at the front office after 8:05 am are considered tardy and must be signed in by an adult.

Why attendance matters?

Fact: Missing just 2 days a month means a child misses 10% of the school year.

As you know, school attendance is critical to the growth and development of our students. It is important for students to be at school and on time every day! Good school attendance is a predictor for academic success in a student’s school career. When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. Please help us by making sure your child is in school every day! We want to ensure that our students have the best chance for academic and long term success!

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ATTENDANCE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. Every school day counts in a child's academic life...A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. The effects of lost school days build up one absence at a time on individual students. Please ensure that your child understands the importance of good school attendance and is at school every day. Every day matters! Every day provides important learning opportunities! Set your child up for success by developing these good habits now!

Attend today. Achieve tomorrow.

It will soon be that time of the year again when we need to make sure our children have appropriate clothing for recess. We will be going outside for recess if the temperature and the wind chill are above 20 degrees unless your child has an illness that requires them to stay inside (doctor notes required).

The school clinic needs pants desperately. SIZES 5-12 in both female/ male. The accidents have taken all my supply in shorts/skorts/pants. Please consider donating any clothing that is not being used. Also, if your child has had one or several accidents this year from spills to restroom it might be best to pack an extra set of clothes for your child in their book bag. Let your child and your teacher know about the extra clothes.It would be greatly appreciated and I wouldn't have to call parents at work telling them I don't have pants for their child.. Thank you so much!

There is a continuous Lost & Found table set up in the cafeteria. All clothing items and lunch boxes left outside during recess are sent to the table. Please encourage your child to check the table for their items during lunch. Lost jewelry, glasses and other miscellaneous items will be in the office. Identify them and they are yours again! .

While we love to celebrate, please remember that there is a “no birthday treats “ guideline. To access fun and helpful resources for healthy celebration ideas please visit the district wellness policy by clicking on this link. Also, note that no birthday invitations are allowed to be distributed at school. It is school policy.
