East Elementary School

Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up next week!
We encourage parents and guardians to attend, ask questions, and learn more about how we can continue supporting every student’s success. We look forward to seeing you there!

Today marks the end of the first quarter, and what an amazing start it’s been to the school year! Students, staff, and families have all contributed to a successful beginning filled with hard work, growth, and school spirit. Let’s keep the momentum going—finish strong and continue making Orab Nation proud!

It's National School Bus Safety Week! This year's theme is "Safe Stops. Stronger Communities," and it focuses on the importance of safety for students in and around school buses. This week, students will take part in bus evacuation drills. Be sure to ask your child what they learned!

Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program at East!
East Elementary has received a grant that allows students to try a new fruit or vegetable twice a week! This exciting program gives children the chance to explore new foods and build healthy eating habits throughout the entire school year.
Some of the snacks will include carrots, snap peas, broccoli, grapes, apples, jicama, kiwi, cantaloupe, and much more. Be sure to ask your student what they enjoyed for their snack every Monday and Friday!

Mark your calendars for Parent-Teacher Conferences!
