February Newsletter 2024

From the Principal

Happy February!

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn with your children everyday. Thank you for partnering with us as we ensure high levels of learning for all students.

Below are a few updates for the month of February.

WY-TOPP

We wrapped up winter WY-TOPP testing for grades 3-5. Teams will be going through the data from those assessments to help determine priority areas moving forward. The summative assessment window is April 16th through May 10th for reading and math. The window for writing will be March 4th through March 15th. Information regarding testing schedules will be sent out as we near those dates. If you have any questions about WY-TOPP please feel free to reach out to your child’s classroom teacher.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Conferences are scheduled for February 13th and 15th. Eastside uses an online schedule tool that was sent to families via text and email. Call the office if you have any questions.

PTK
Our PTK meets the first Thursday of each month. February’s meeting is Thursday, February 1st at 3:30. Childcare is provided. We encourage all parents to attend!

Here’s to another great month at Eastside!

A Note From Nurse Nee Nee

Dr. Eric Taylor of Taylor Dental has graciously offered to perform free dental health screenings for Eastside students on Monday, February 26th. No x-rays will be taken and this screening does not replace an in-office dental examination by your family dentist.

Results will be sent home with your child the following week. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 587-4275. Thank you, Nurse NeeNee

A note from Brooke Sieg, PCSD 6 Preschool Liaison:

February is such a fun month to teach about and celebrate kindness! I hope you take a few moments to read over the February Community Newsletter, which is full of great information for families, including FREE events in Cody throughout the month.

A Reminder From The Office

If your child will be absent for the day please call the front office and let us know. This includes for any reason: sick, out of town, personal absence. If you do not call us, we will be calling you as we need to make sure all of our students are accounted for.
