Eastview Elementary School

Eastview Families: Reminder that tomorrow night, Thursday 8.18.22, is "Meet the Team" night. Doors open 4:55, parents should go to classrooms, presentations start at 5:10 & go to 5:30. A second round of presentations starts at 5:40. We're all done by 6:00!

Eastview Families - a reminder about the upcoming CHS Football Game: Elementary students will not be allowed to enter the game without an adult present and should be supervised by the adult that brought them to the game. In addition, please students are NOT to bring any type of ball including footballs to the game.

Eastview Families: We will hold a PTO Meeting in the library on Thursday at 4:30, just prior to Meet the Team Night which starts at 5:00 p.m. Whether you're new to Eastview or have been in the Eastview family for years, this is a great chance to learn more about how PTO supports our school. You don't have to be a "member" of PTO to come to a meeting!

Eastview Families: Meet the Team Night is Thursday, August 18th, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Meet the Team Night is different than an Open - House! Please expect teachers to be giving presentations about their grade-levels and classrooms. Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. Parents should report to their child's classroom. At 5:10, teachers will start presenting. The first round of presentations will end at 5:30 p.m. If you only have one child at Eastview, you'll be all set and can head home! If you need to hear a second presentation, we've got that covered - parents will be given a few minutes to head to the second classroom and the second round of presentations will start at 5:35. Please expect to hear information about a range of topics such as Daily Schedule, Communication, Grading, Behavior Expectations, Special Projects, and more! This is an important opportunity for families and the school to get on the same page early in the year! Working together for student success! *If you can, leave students at home for Meet the Team Night! However, we know child-care can be a challenge. Bring kids along if you must! I'll be in the library during the presentations and can watch your school-aged kids so that you can focus on the presentation (sorry, I can't be responsible for watching those babies!).

While at 1st Grade Recess, this little guy's mind was blown, "look at this caterpillar Mr. Kates!" Too small to see in the pic behind him, but this was no caterpillar but rather a praying mantis! I had to work hard to convince him to even take the pic..he didn't want to get too close! His little mind was blown and we had a blast observing and asking questions! My question...why isn't it spelled prey? Had no idea it was spelled praying - seems like it would make sense to be spelled prey? Come to find out it's spelled pray because it looks like it's praying! So much learning!

Thank you for coming out for the Supply Drop Off. We'll have you all in classrooms for Meet the Team Night in two weeks, August 18th. We're taking a new approach where teachers will be presenting important classroom information. Much more than a meet & greet, parents will leave with a good understanding of how things work in our classrooms. Questions sooner, just reach out. Missed us tonight? No problem, our amazing staff will guide students Monday morning. Class lists are in Powerschool. Can't access, call the office. Don’t worry, staff will be all over the building welcoming kids Monday. We'll take care of you! We start Monday! Remember school starts at 7:55 a.m., releases at 2:35 p.m. No changes to drop off, doors open at 7:30 a.m. New to Eastview & not sure what to do? Go east on McCann, turn right (onto Fountain), immediate right into front lot. Once in line we'll help direct you. Kids must stay in vehicles until 7:30 a.m. Kindergarten parents can walk students to classrooms on Monday. For pick up, line starts in back at 2:15 p.m. (south side, by apartments). Parents must have the numbered tag or children will not be allowed into vehicle. For safety reasons, do not arrive until 2:15 p.m. Remember, download the FCSC app (on district website). You'll get all the info you need. Events such as Fall Pictures are already posted. Eastview teachers & staff are a special group of people & it showed tonight as they welcomed families. Blessed to lead such an incredible group.

Looking forward to seeing families between 5 and 6 tonight (8/4) in the gym for Supply Drop Off!

Remember, Supply Drop Off is Thursday, August 4th, 5:00 to 6:00 p.m in the gym.

Eastview Families: A few things: We're working hard on class lists! Lists will be in PowerSchool tomorrow (and will NOT be posted on the front window as in the past). If you can't access PS, don't worry, we'll take care of you and get you the teacher's name during the Supply Drop Off! We look forward to seeing everyone in the gym from 5:00 - 6:00 for the Supply Drop Off. Families can meet their teachers and drop off those supplies! Kindergarten: Exciting news, we'll have three kindergarten classes at Eastview this year! K families, you WILL be able to walk your child to their classroom on Monday morning. Staff: Please help us welcome Mrs. Megan Angel, 1st Grade Teacher, and Mrs. Dana Burton, Art Teacher. Mr. Levi Thompson, CHS Band Director, will be teaching Music at Eastview!
