January Newsletter

Hello Eastside Families!

Dear Families,
Welcome back! We hope you and your family enjoyed a restful and joyful break. We are excited to welcome our students back and begin the 2026 year together.
As we start, please remember that regular attendance is essential all year. Being a regular attender means your child comes to school every day, arrives on time, and stays for the whole school day. Consistent attendance helps students build routines, stay connected to learning, and make steady academic progress. To help your child do their best, please ensure they get enough sleep each night and follow a consistent daily routine.

Between January 20 and January 29, students will participate in benchmark testing using DIBELS for literacy and our Savvas Math program for mathematics. These assessments help us understand each student’s current skill levels and guide instruction to support their learning best.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are delighted to have our students back and look forward to a positive and productive rest of the school year.

Go Panthers!
With gratitude,
Mrs. Amelia Edd
Principal, Eastside School

Physical Education with Coach Dan

This January in PE, students will be focusing on strength and conditioning activities designed to build endurance, coordination, and overall fitness in a fun and age-appropriate way. During recess, students will also have opportunities to participate in engaging activities such as Vortex target games and distance marker challenges. These activities encourage movement, build coordination, and help keep recess active and exciting for everyone.

This month, our Character Strong character trait is empathy. We are teaching students what empathy means and how to connect with other people's feelings. Below is a link to our Empathy song, which we teach students in class.
