Each program will have safety procedures in place for our students, their families and our community.

Update 8/31/2020

Hello East Elementary Families - 

Attached you will find the final update for procedures at East Elementary.  Please see the document with information about day to day procedures.  You will notice some of this information has already been shared and some will be new.  

We are excited to start seeing the students in the next two days.  Open house information can be found below.  As you enter the building, each individual will need to wear a mask and to have their temperature checked.  Doors A2, A4, and B1 will be unlocked for families in grades 1-5 to enter tonight.  Preschool and Kindergarten families should use door A2, the main office door to come to their appointments on Tuesday, September 1.  

We are better together!

 – Doors will be open for all other students at 7:35 am.  Please drop-off your child(ren) at the appropriate door. Make sure to use the loading zones and drive from south to north on O Street and west to east on 18th Street so you can drop your child off at the curb, instead of having them cross traffic.
