Welcome to a New School Year at East Elementary!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope you have had a wonderful and relaxing Summer. As we begin a new school year, we wanted to take a moment to welcome you and your children back to East Elementary. 

Our team has been hard at work preparing for the school year, and we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your child can thrive. Through our Leader In Me model, our students will have opportunities  to learn and apply leadership principles through engaging learning experiences. 

We have made a few changes to our building placement that will provide our students with a more collaborative learning environment.  We look forward to working with you to support your child’s academic and personal growth as a leader.

Communication between home and school is key to a successful year, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas. We value your partnership and look forward to a collaborative and positive year together.

Thank you for your continued support of East Elementary. We are so glad to have you and your child as part of our school community.

Warm regards,

Susan Shultz & Melanie Mitchell
