I am extremely honored and humbled to begin the 2024-2025 school year with our extended Falcon families. The positive energy within our feeder pattern is strong with pride and much school spirit. Our instructional leaders are very excited to begin a new chapter in the education with each of your children. Creating a lasting memory for everyone at Eastlake HS.
Our mantra for this school year will remain "I am good - You are good - Together we are BETTER!" What a wonderful message to unite the Eastlake Learning Community and all our students. Our mantra aligns perfectly with the motto for Socorro ISD - "All IN". This year, it is most important for everyone to commit to the success of our scholars. It takes more than a village to raise a child. It takes a collective commitment from everyone to be the positive change needed within our world today. Consistent ACTS of kindness will be deliberate with an intention to grow everyone with a positive attitude while doing their very best.
1st day procedures:
- Parents will have two locations to drop off their child; East front parking lot in front of main gym, and West parking lot near fine arts. (note: Please do not use the front entrance nearest flag pole to drop off students. This location is reserved as a safety zone for emergency vehicles.) Please be sure to review attached aerial map of drop off and pick up locations.
- Bus pick up and drop off also have two locations. We currently have 18 buses that will drop off and pick up in the parking lot nearest theatre. (note: This is a shared pick up and drop off for buses and parents.) The second pick up and drop off is exclusively reserved for 12 busses in the parking lot for teachers and students, located parallel to Emerald Pass.
- Teacher start time is 8:15 am. Teacher end time is 4:15 pm.
- Student start time is 8:55 am. Student end time is 4:15 pm.
- Plan ahead to avoid rush times. It is strongly recommended to drop off your child by 8:35 am to avoid any unnecessary tardies, absences, or congestion due to traffic.
- Student parking spots are available in all areas on campus except for "H" building, and front of school nearest the flag pole. (note: a parking sticker is required to park on campus - $40.00 fee with proof of insurance and and valid drivers license. No learners permits.)
- Students must access their Skyward schedule via a electronic device and follow the schedule posted on Monday, August 5, 2024. Students who do not have a device or cell phone can pick up a printed schedule in the main foyer nearest the library.
- Please be sure to read our flier reference student schedule change request and timelines.
- Free breakfast is offered in the cafeteria from 8:00 am to 8:50 am.
- Students must be in their first period class by 8:55 am.
- Any student not in their scheduled second period class will be dropped from skyward, have to reenroll, and lose their current schedule. This will cause them to fall behind in instructional time and teacher expectations.
- School building will open at 7:30 am.
Lunch Deliveries:
- Eastlake HS is a closed campus. In an effort to maintain the safety of all students and staff, food deliveries will not be allowed. Our cafeteria does have several microwaves for student use.
- Craze will be on campus behind the small gym to provide additional service.
- Students will be allowed to eat in Patio, Theatre foyer, Gym Foyer, and cafeteria. No food will be allowed in stairways, hallways, or classrooms.
Teacher Vacancies:
- This year, we will begin with a few vacancies pending the hiring process. We are currently collaboratively working with our HR department to fill our vacancies as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in the matter. We also look forward to a collaborative vision of safety and rigorous academic instruction for our scholars.
Please be aware, the local sheriff will help police Peyton and Emerald during rush hour times. The county, Socorro ISD, and Eastlake campus are diligently working together for additional flashers, and crosswalks for the 2024-2025 school year. It takes all of us to remain calm while being observant of the needs for every child.
Thank you,
Gilbert R. Martinez
Proud Principal Eastlake HS
"Together we are BETTER!"
