Notes from the East Hill Principal
December 3, 2021
East Hill Updated Dismissal Procedure- beginning on December 6, 2021
Due to changes in transportation, we will be making a change to our dismissal procedures.
We will be flipping our dismissal procedures to include car pick-ups in the loop before buses. Car pick-up dismissal will begin at 3:10. Parents can enter the loop at 3:10 when directed by a staff member. Buses will be arriving and entering the loop at 3:20. No cars will be admitted into the loop during bus pickup.
Parent pick-up tags are still available. Please contact the main office for a tag if you don’t have one and would like one.
We truly appreciate your support with this change and following our arrival and dismissal procedures to keep all students and staff safe. Please do not hesitate to contact the main office at 315-487-4648 with any questions.
Positivity Project Update
Next week's Positivity Project Other People Matter Mindset is "Knowing my words and actions affect others!" Click here to get some background on what the students will be working on and talking about.
Bundle Up
The cold weather is upon us! Please keep in mind that our students will continue to go outside for recess and physical education class. If the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above, recess can take place outside. If the temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (this includes factoring in the WINDCHILL), recess will be indoors. Please be sure to send your child daily with the appropriate clothing for the weather: Coat, boots, snow pants, hat, and gloves.
