Principal's Message
-Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn to read.
-Students can still fall behind if they miss just 1 or 2 days every few weeks.
-Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
-Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
DO YOUR PART AND MAKE ATTENDANCE A PRIORITY IN YOUR CHILD'S LIFE.

Birthday Celebrations at Eastside
Every birthday is special! You are welcome to send nonfood items (erasers, pencils, bookmarks, etc.) to celebrate your child’s actual birthday, but we must reserve store bought food items for our monthly party. Please help us by not asking to send food items on other days! This is in accordance with Section 5.02.04 of the Arkansas Nutrition Standards Rules. Classroom teachers and school newsletters will give more information monthly.
October Birthdays will be celebrated on October 31.
