They're Back!

Welcome Back!
We are so excited to welcome back our staff and students for the 2018-2019 school year! Our custodians have East Hill looking better than ever and our teachers are ready to welcome their new students. Here are just a few pictures of students donning their first day outfits, and smiles!

Mark Your Calendars!
The PTA's annual Ice Cream Social will be held tomorrow night, Thursday, September 6, from 6:00 - 7:30. It's a great time to meet your child's classmates and socialize with friends!

Next Wednesday, September 12, is our Curriculum Night for parents/guardians. This is a time for you to meet your child's teacher and learn about the program your child will experience this year. Kindergarten and First Grade runs from 6:00 - 6:25, Second and Third Grade runs from 6:30 - 6:55, and Fourth and Fifth Grade runs from 7:00 - 7:25. We hope that by separating our grade level presentations it will allow parents to meet all of their children's teachers and provide additional parking as well. 

Our PTA will hold their first meeting on Monday, September 17 at 6:30 in the East Hill Library. Please come join us! Speaking of the PTA, on Friday, September 28 our PTA will hold their annual Jogathon which is their primary fundraiser. You will receive more information about this event in the coming weeks.

Arrival, Dismissal, and Safety
The school day begins at 9:00 and ends at 3:20. If you drive your child to school, please do not drop your child off prior to 9:00 as there is not adequate supervision for students until 9:00 when the doors open (for students only). If, however, your child eats breakfast, students are allowed in to the building at 8:50. If you are picking up your child at the end of the day, please plan to arrive between 3:10 and 3:15. Students being picked up are dismissed at 3:17; students riding the bus home are dismissed at 3:20. Please utilize the student drop-off area when dropping off and picking up your child. Thank you!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! Don't forget to follow East Hill onTwitter, @EHElementary. Have a great first week of school!
