Hope Trust for Kids
​It has been suggested that Delaware has underinvested in its children, particularly those who grow up at or near the poverty line.  And now the State finds itself with $55 million in unanticipated revenues.  We believe this money should be spread out over four years in a “Hope Trust for Kids”, rather than spent all at once. This money should be dedicated entirely to programs that will benefit Delaware’s children, particularly those living in poverty.   The use of the funds in this proposed fashion will support funding for programs that we at EastSide Charter School consistently struggle to come by as we seek to best serve the children in our school.
 
Matt Denn, Delaware's Attorney General, and a passionate supporter of education and other services for low income kids, has endorsed this idea; and has asked us to share the following information with you.
  
Please note the specific mention of EastSide Charter School in the article (link below) from the Coalition for Delaware’s Kids, suggesting sound reasons for this use of the unanticipated State revenues.

We also ask for you to lend your support to this idea by signing the Petition of Support (link below).

We appreciate your interest in supporting the children of Delaware –they are the future of our State.
 
Best wishes for a joyful and memorable Holiday Season,

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!

EastSide Chant
Ask your student about our EastSide chant! To celebrate our hard work and commitment to getting across the college stage, EastSide students have been learning and living our mantra:
We fly, we strive, we turn it up
When times get hard we don’t give up
We’re Eagles and we’re college bound
We soar so high we can’t see the ground!
​
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.

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!
