Transportation Changes

2022-2023 Student Transportation Form
For the safety of your student(s), EVERY child must have a completed transportation form - this includes walkers and car riders. Bus riders must have a completed form before they are allowed to ride the bus to or from school. Please review the bus schedules and note the stop times and bus number prior starting to complete the transportation form.
Early Dismissal & Temporary Transportation Changes
Early Dismissals and Temporary Transportation Changes must be submitted through our online form before 1:30pm. This is very important in order to have a smooth and timely transition for your child and to create the least disruption to the learning environment for teachers and fellow students. 

​For the safety of our students, early dismissals are not permitted after 2:00pm. Any parent coming to pick their child after 2:00pm will be required to wait at our regular 2:30pm dismissal time on Bowers Street. 
Thank you for your cooperation.  Please review the bus schedules and note the stop times and bus number prior to completing the transportation form.

Lead Sampling in Schools
Delaware conducts lead sampling in schools. EastSide's water was tested and determined to be safe.  None of our drinking water tested near or above the 7.5 ppb threshold.  The test results and additional information can be found here de.gov/schoolwater.
​Dress Code
After much discussion EastSide has decided to move from a uniform to a dress code
  • Students will be allowed to wear clothes that they choose
  • Clothes must not be revealing and cannot have any offensive language or images
  • We are aware that many of our children have grown over the past two years and to help ease the transition back into school life we do not want uniforms to be a limiting factor
