Transportation Changes
A consistent transportation routine is best for your student. Should you need to make a change in your student's transportation home, please send a note to the teacher and the bus driver. Without a note, the student will be sent home their normal way. If it is an emergency, please call the office BEFORE 2:30.

Parent Portal
Please keep all contact information current on your Parent Portal. This includes your email address. East frequently sends messages to email address through our school messaging systems, including the East Elementary newsletter. The Parent Portal is also where you will view your student's report card each 9 weeks. Each spring you will be asked to go into your Portal and confirm that all the information is correct. By doing this, you are registering your student for the following year (even if they are moving onto PHMS).
