EastSide Mantra
Ask your student about our EastSide Mantra! To celebrate our hard work and commitment to getting across the college stage, EastSide students will learn and live our mantra, based on the work of Rita Pierson [educator and TEDTalk presenter]:
 
"I am SOMEBODY.
  I was somebody when I came.
  I'll be a better somebody when I leave.
  I am powerful, and I am strong.
  I DESERVE the education that I get here.
  I have things to do, people to impress, and places to go."

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 Thursday 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.

Pre-K Program Awarded Highest Quality Rating!
EastSide is extremely proud to announce that it has been awarded a STAR 5 designation for our Pre-K program by the Delaware STARS early childcare rating system! This is the highest quality rating under the State's rating system and EastSide is the first charter school in the state to participate in the program and the first school to receive a level 5 rating. This tremendous accomplishment comes after months of hard work by staff and leadership at EastSide and will have a remarkable impact on our expanding Pre-K program next year!
