HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
Eastside is an "A" School!
May-
Now that school is ALMOST out and summer is NEARLY here, parents are the best front line for making sure that their children continue to keep their minds and bodies active during summertime. Why does summertime learning matter so much? Because when students lack access to high-quality summer learning and enrichment opportunities, they risk falling prey to "summer learning loss" -- a loss in academic skills and knowledge during summer vacation.
Because summer learning loss is cumulative over time, it leads to increased dropout rates among those students who have fallen behind.
Missing out on summer learning is as harmful to children's physical health as it is to their academic health, because students who lack access to summer learning opportunities are less likely to be physically active and more likely to spend their days watching TV and eating junk food -- and sedentary behaviors are contributing to America's exploding childhood obesity epidemic.
With only 90 days of summer, every day a student is not participating in summer learning is a loss by every measure. Fortunately, there are numerous easy, effective and affordable ways that parents can help keep their children learning -- and moving -- all summer long, in ways that are as fun as they are educational. Better yet, all the resources they need to engage their children in summertime learning that can keep them academically and physically healthy are either at home or close to home.
