A Note from Mr. McKim
Welcome to what promises to be an awesome ‘24-25 school year at Eastbrook North Elementary!

I would like to begin by thanking you for entrusting us with your child's education. Please know at ENE, it is our goal to provide each student with a safe, caring, and positive learning experience. We are eager to partner with you and firmly believe that when both school and home work together; students benefit. Our promise is to come alongside you in this journey, give your child our best every day, and work hard in order to help students grow and succeed this school year!

Please feel free to email or call the school anytime you have questions, concerns, or celebrations to share!
 
Announcements
Welcome 
Please help me welcome the following new staff to ENE:
  • Mrs. Hayley Watson - Special Education Preschool Teacher
  • Mrs. Kearsten Lucas - Special Education Aide
  • Mrs. Brooke McDermit- Special Education Aide

Attendance Update 
Please take some time to read over our new District Attendance Policy found in student handbooks. To summarize, Eastbrook wants to help students and families prioritize the importance of regular school attendance. The policy contains information regarding our reasoning, absence types, and procedures that will be followed in cases of attendance issues. Should you have any questions after reading, please contact us in the office for clarification.

Breakfast & Lunch
Breakfast remains free daily for all our students and will be served between 7:40 and 8:00 am. Student lunches will cost $2.40/day and can grow expensive over time. Please consider filling out a free/reduced meal form to cover or offset these costs. The form may be filled out via Skyward or you may pick up a hard copy from the office.  

Red, White, Black Schedule
We rotate specials based on color days. I will share the color calendar each month and your child's teacher will clarify which special your child has on each color day.

Drop-off & Pick-up
Doors open daily at 7:40 AM. Walkers should enter door number 3. Car riders will also be dropped off at door number 3 where only northbound traffic will be allowed near the school on Second St. during this time. Students should exit vehicles on the sidewalk side. Pick-up occurs at door number 1. Please use caution, travel from the south parking lot to the east side, and follow signage and staff directives to make this process safe and smooth.

Car Rider Tag
If your child is a car rider, you will need a car rider tag for your car. You'll receive your two tags during the week of August 12.
 
COUNSELOR’S CORNER

This year promises to be filled with new adventures, opportunities to learn and grow, and new friends! My goal is to support each of our students in their academic, social, and emotional development. Each student is a valued part of our school community. Let's work together to make this year the best one yet.
