Climate and Culture Survey
Please help students and staff at Eastridge by taking the survey. The survey deadline has been extended to March 22, 2019. We appreciate your help with this!
Dear Parents,
Our students wrapped up the third quarter last week. It's hard to believe we have 9 more weeks of school before summer break! Our third grade students finished IREAD-3 testing and I am so very proud of their efforts on the assessment!! Third and fourth graders will take the iLearn assessment starting on the week of April 22. The assessment window runs from April 22 - May 17. Look for more information after spring break.
Students brought home their report cards with third quarter grades on Friday. Please take some time to review these with your child(ren). If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to teachers after break.
Our spring intersession begins Monday, March 18, 2019. Students will have two weeks off of school and are scheduled to return on Monday, April 1, 2019. Enjoy your time with your children over intersession. For those travelling….safe travels to you! We are looking forward to an awesome Term 4!
Mrs. Johnson

Words from the Dean
It is hard to believe that we just wrapped up quarter three and will begin the final term of the school year after break. Wow! Where has the time gone? Last week was a week of hard work, fun projects and exciting celebrations! Friday, we had a great time celebrating our school community and all the effort that was put into the last term with a BIG GLOW PARTY on Friday!! The kids had an awesome time dancing, playing games and enjoying a snack! We love those moments.
Please remember that school resumes on April 1st. Now that the winter weather and germs are hopefully behind us, we hope to see every child everyday during quarter four. Please do your best to ensure that your child is at school and on time everyday to ensure that he/she maximize his/her learning time.
I wish for each and every one of you a safe and relaxing spring break! I look forward to seeing you all April 1st.
Have a great week!
