📞 Reporting Student Absences
If your child is going to be absent, please let us know right away! Using our dedicated attendance lines ensures our office team gets the message immediately, even if your child's teacher is out of the building.
How to report an absence: Email attendance.eastview@D300.org or call 847.532.7420.
Please do not message a specific staff member: Texting or emailing anyone directly can lead to missed information.
Appointments: If your student is missing school for a doctor, dentist, or therapy appointment, please send a note from the provider when they return.
Absences longer than 2 days: Please complete a Pre-Arranged Absence Form and email or drop it off at the main office.
Thank you
The Eastview PTO wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our recent bingo & silent auction fundraiser. Thanks to your commitment—whether through attending or donating—we were able to surpass our goal of $4,000! This achievement would not have been possible without your involvement.
Your contributions play a vital role in helping us reach our goals and support our school. Every dollar raised from this fundraiser will go directly towards the spring assembly, and any leftover funds will go towards future needs for the school. We are truly grateful for your generosity and dedication.
Once again, thank you for being an essential part of our success. We appreciate your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at future events!
Warm regards,
Eastview PTO

This is a fun opportunity for our community to come together for some Halloween cheer. We will be having a raffle and the Rico Loco Tacos Food Truck available for purchase.

Halloween Celebrations at Eastview! 🎃
We are looking forward to celebrating Halloween together on Thursday, October 29th! Please review the guidelines below regarding costumes and our annual parade. For details on classroom-specific activities, keep an eye out for information directly from your child's teacher.
Costume Guidelines To ensure a safe and comfortable day for everyone, please keep these rules in mind when choosing school-appropriate costumes:
Keep it safe and gentle: Avoid costumes that depict violence, and leave all costume weapons (swords, sticks, toy guns, etc.) at home.
Visibility first: Masks should not be worn at school if they obstruct your child's view.
Leave cosmetics at home: Makeup and colored hair dye should not be brought to school.
Halloween Parade (9:00 AM)
Outdoor Parade (Weather Permitting): We will parade outside around the school starting at 9:00 AM. Parents are invited to cheer us on from the blacktop or along the front lawn!
Indoor Contingency (In Case of Rain): If rain keeps us inside, students will parade through the hallways. Due to space constraints, we will unfortunately not be able to accommodate parent spectators indoors.
Thank you for helping us make this a fun, safe, and memorable celebration for all of our students!
