Enrollment Updates

APEX Honors Program is a HUGE Success!
Our first year proved how amazing our students are with 83% of our APEX graduating students attending highly competitive high schools.  High performing students are often overlooked. Students who have the capacity to go beyond the state assessment and compete on a higher level should be given every tool necessary to succeed.

The focus of our APEX Honors Program is to prepare our students for academic and social challenges they will face in high performing High Schools and beyond. Check out the flyer, apply online or via paper application.

Thankful
​The staff at EastSide is thankful for the commitment and support of our parents to our school and their children today and every day. Our work would not be possible without the hard work and dedication parents provide in ensuring their children are cared for and come to school ready to learn each day. We appreciate our partnership with families in this journey as well as the trust our families have placed in us to have their children in our care each day. Thank you for all that you do!

Parent Bulletins
Please read the Parent Bulletin every Friday night as it is part of your child’s homework.  This form of communication is very important for us to be successful and for you to be informed of upcoming events at the school.
