        Welcome to the East Side Elementary School Webpage

 

Welcome to East Side Elementary School where education helps children realize their potentialities. Kindergarten gave students a smart start and our teachers are here to continue guiding and motivating the students with adventures in reading, mathematics, language, writing, science, and social studies.

The mathematics curriculum approaches the content through investigations that help students develop flexibility and confidence in approaching problems.

In our literacy programs, known as ELLA and Effective Literacy, children read a variety of books that enable them to become independent readers. Children learn to use specific knowledge of words, letters and sounds to actively process and understand the text they are reading. Students are given opportunities daily to connect reading and writing.

East Side School involves and encourages students to read through our Accelerated Reader program. All children are able to read and improve their reading skills and are rewarded for their achievements.

Our new science curriculum incorporates teaching the frameworks from the textbook as well as hands-on experiments and investigations for twenty percent of the instructional time. Students are involved and given exciting opportunities to be involved in their learning.

Social studies and health education are also integrated subjects in the curriculum for all of our grades.

East Side students are involved in activities each week which include physical education, music, library, art and computer classes. In addition to these activities, East Side has incorporated a Positive Behavior Self-Management System. The classroom teacher presents social skills lessons and activities in the classroom while the entire faculty emphasizes good choices rather than bad choices to teach children to manage their own behavior. Character traits such as honesty, responsibility, compassion and responsibility are also emphasized on a daily basis to help our students be the best that they can be.

We possess an awesome responsibility and privilege of educating the children—a responsibility that we do not take lightly. As John Quincy Adams once said, "To furnish the means of acquiring knowledge is . . . ., the greatest benefit that can be conferred upon mankind." The staff of East Side School would like to be a part of your child's future.
