New APEX Honors Program at ESCS - [Link: APEX Application]
An exciting new program for talented students is featured at EastSide Charter School this year. 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. To ensure that top performing students reach their peak, we have created the APEX Honors Program. Please check out the flyer, below; and then click this link to access the Application to be a part of the APEX Program.

LiveSchool
We’re excited to be using the LiveSchool application school-wide this year! Even better than ClassDojo, LiveSchool provides our school with so many features and abilities that we’re happy to share with you. You and your students can access their “bank account” at home and determine awards that your child would like to purchase from the SOAR STORE using credits earned through LiveSchool. Paychecks will be coming home every week on Thursdays. They should be signed and returned to your child’s homeroom teacher by Friday morning. Please download the “LiveSchool Parent App” on any home device to log in!

Weather Delays and Closing
Please check the school’s facebook page to get instant updates in school delays and closings. Also you can check the state site for closings at: https://schoolclosings.delaware.gov. An automated blast will also be sent out to all families. Please contact the main office if you are not receiving emails or phone calls.

Cellphone Policy
Student cellphones must be away and turned off—not silent. To keep our community academically focused, it’s important to prioritize learning and avoid possible distractions. If a phone is seen (whether in use or not), it will be confiscated by an adult and kept with your student’s grade-level dean or leader. Only a parent/guardian can pick up a cellphone after dismissal. If you need to communicate any messages to your child, please call the office at (302) 762-5834. We have systems in place to ensure that all messages can be relayed quickly and efficiently! We appreciate your understanding and commitment in this initiative.

Temporary Transportation Changes
This form is to be completed if your student’s transportation needs to be changed temporarily. Please be as specific as possible when completing the form. All changes must be submitted by noon.

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.
