Life is better connected!
Part of establishing our East Elementary family is connecting beyond the walls of the school building. There are several ways we work to help foster connections, including a campus Facebook group, a campus Remind account, newsletters like this one, and other ways, too!
If you have not already done so, please add me as a "friend" on Facebook so I can add you to our private Facebook group for East Elementary employees! I promise you don't have to stay my "friend"...ha ha ha! Our group is a great place to share ideas, ask for advice or feedback, celebrate milestones, or anything else that helps foster connection across our campus.
Our campus Remind account is up and running, too! Please join our East Elementary Remind group using this link: https://www.remind.com/join/g8467e2
You can also join by texting @g8467e2 to the number 81010.

Of course, our goal is that teams can begin connecting this summer! Please feel free to reach out to our East family members via their LCISD email address or through the East Elementary Facebook group!
Seeing this team come together has truly been a dream come true! Amanda and I are so excited for you all to get to know one another well and become a faculty family. We are so blessed to have the very best educators serving the families of East Elementary! Thank you all for being part of the magic at East!
Summer Professional Development Requirements
The Performance-Based Assessments Training with Theresa Morris on July 19 and 20 will satisfy that requirement. What's more - you won't need to submit the professional development plan for an administrator's signature, either! All employees are invited to attend this training. The training will impact us all this year, so it is appropriate for all stakeholders to be trained.
If you are unable to attend the Performance-Based Assessment Training on July 19 and 20, you will need to find two days of professional development to attend. My preference is for our employees to attend training provided by LCISD since it is aligned with the district's goals and initiatives. A list of professional development activities provided by the district is linked for you below this section.
Any training outside the Performance-Based Assessment Training will need to be submitted for administrator approval and will require proof of attendance to be submitted following the training. Additional information regarding professional development and the recording form were sent out by Dr. Satterwhite on June 26. The form is also provided for you below.
East Elementary Campus Calendar
We try to keep the campus calendar up-to-date with staff birthdays and important campus events. I've also tried to add district professional development opportunities. Please understand that the district PD events are for your information only and are NOT required for any East Elementary employees to attend, unless otherwise noted (and personally invited).
If you have an event that needs to be added to the campus calendar, please let Mrs. Parrott know so that she can update it!
