Welcome Back!
We hope you have enjoyed a wonderful, restful, and memorable break with your families! We had a wonderful first day back with your children and look forward to watching them continue to grown, learn, and change in the months ahead. Please read and make note of the upcoming events this month.
Thank you for being a part of our East team!

Mid-Year Reminders!
- Please label all coats and jackets to help assist us in getting them back to their owners.
- All transportation changes need to occur prior to 2:30 p.m.
- Only PreK parents are allowed to park and drop-off/pick-up their students and we need the PreK students to be walked all the way across the crosswalk. PreK parents -- we need your help in dropping them off in this manner to help our line run more efficiently.
- Please plan for the traffic in the mornings and arrive in time for your child to be at school and inside the building by 7:45 a.m. If a traffic situation occurs (fog, accident, weather, etc.), your child will not be marked tardy and we will adjust accordingly. On normal days, we see a lot of lag time in the line from 7:20 a.m. - 7:35 a.m.
- If you plan to eat lunch with your child, please remember to sit in the designated area and that you may only eat with your own child.
- If your child becomes ill at school and you are contacted by the campus nurse, please make arrangements to pick up your child within 1 hour. They must be free from illness symptoms for a full 24 hours before they can return to school.
U.I.L.
The U.I.L. Academic Program is designed to enrich student learning and provide students with a competitive opportunity. Students in 2nd and 3rd grades have started practicing and will have the opportunity to compete to represent East as a part of our district U.I.L. team in the coming weeks.
Here are some important dates to make note of if your child is participating in practices for UIL.
- January 7th - After school practices with official teams begin
- February 8th - UIL District Competition at Hallsville Intermediate-4 (more details to come)
