From the Principal’s desk…
This year has just zipped right by! As we close out the
school year, there are many things worthy of
celebration. Our school staff has worked extremely
hard to implement some of the new Common Core
State Standards and the use of formative assessments
to guide their instruction. We have also participated in
additional writing training to improve writing
instruction throughout our school! Additionally, we
have had over 480 walkthroughs in our classrooms
throughout this year through our partnership with the
District Support Team! Lastly, with a stronger focus
on the Standards, we have seen some incredible
growth academically in majority of our students.
When parents are involved, it makes a big difference!
I feel very blessed to work with such dedicated and
compassionate staff members, families, and students
at East Hill!
Over the summer, we want to make sure every child
continues to learn. As a result, we are putting together
some summer work packets for all current
Kindergarten—5th grade students. These work
packets, along with reading logs will be due Friday,
August 30th, which is the third day of school. Those
who finish all their work will be able to participate in
a fun-filled Ice Cream & Cookie Celebration in
September! Thank you again for your support with
this! Summer packets will only be given out to parents
who request a packet. Your child needs to return their
Summer Homework Packet request letter to their
teacher by Tuesday, June 11th!
Another newsletter will be sent home on June 18th
which will include 2013-2014 School Calendar. Thank you for making this year such a wonderful one
for all of us at East Hill! Have a great summer!
Warmly Yours,
Daxa Thomas, Principal
