As we quickly embark on the upcoming school year, most of our scholars are feeling a variety of feelings, such as nervousness, excitement, hopefully, scared, and confident. Here at East, we are sure that the first day of school will bring up all these feelings and more; but we will use the first day of school to establish a culture of care for all members of our community. We will work hard to ensure that every member in this community is seen, heard, welcomed, and most of all valued.

Don’t worry scholars and families, staff will be available to help students find their classrooms throughout the day. Our focus for the day is to ensure we begin to learn about each other through community-building activities. Also, throughout the day, scholars will be engaged in scheduled activities to help with start us off on this great year.

If your student will be dropped off before school starts, the Parent/Caregiver Drop off/Pick Up will be in the first circle drive (Door 6). During school hours (coming late, being picked up for appointments, etc), students should be dropped off/picked up at the main entrance (Door1) and check in with the attendance secretary, Mrs. Morris.

What do I need to bring to apply for a parking permit?

• Make, model and color of any cars the students would drive to school

• A valid driver’s license

What is the process in determining who will get a permit?

In order to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to apply for a parking permit, students can apply at registration or during lunches on September 6th and 7th. On September 8th/9th, we will evaluate how many students have applied and randomly match students with a parking spot. If we do not have enough parking for students who applied, seniors will get first priority, then juniors and then as many sophomores as possible. Lottery drawings will be held at the sophomore level, if needed.

When will I find out if I get a parking permit?

Students will receive a parking permit by Monday, September 10th in their SP30 class. Parking enforcement will begin on Tuesday, September 11th. The first week of school numbered parking spots will be available on a first come first serve basis.
