Eastside Edition February 20

Message from the Principal

 

Greetings, Eastside Family,

Even though we don’t have major events on the calendar this week, there is still plenty of great learning and growth happening inside our classrooms each day. Our students continue to work hard, and we are proud of the effort they are putting into their academics and daily responsibilities.

We are also seeing an increase in seasonal illnesses. Frequent handwashing, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of sleep all go a long way in keeping our school community strong.

Wishing everyone a healthy and restful weekend!

We are pleased to announce that Online Registration (OLR) for the 2026-2027 school year will officially open on Monday, March 9, 2026.

Please note a significant update to this year’s OLR process: we will be requiring all registering existing families to upload a current Photo ID/Driver's License of Parent/Guardian with their current address and 2 proofs of residency. 

This is a necessary step to ensure the accuracy of our enrollment records and to ensure we have updated addresses for all our families.

We encourage you to begin preparing your necessary residency documentation ahead of the registration opening date, which will be March 9th.  

Below you will find a list of acceptable documents:

Current Photo ID/Driver’s License

2 - Proofs of Residency:

    -Authentic home builder contract with approved district transfer, lease, closing statement, or other home dwelling document.

    -Utility bill: Current electricity, gas or water bill with current address

    -Current employee check stub with current address

    -Current vehicle registration that matches the driver’s license submitted

    -Government agency correspondence with current address

    -Voter registration card

Thank you for your assistance as we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year.
