🐾 Afternoon Pickup Reminder
We are asking all parents and guardians to please be patient and cooperative during afternoon pickup. The first few days can be busy as everyone learns the procedures, but we promise it gets easier!
⏰ Dismissal Times
3rd Grade: 1:50 p.m.
4th Grade: 1:55 p.m.
5th Grade: 2:00 p.m.
🚸 Safety First!
Students are not permitted to walk in and out of traffic even with a parent. For everyone's safety, students may ONLY use the designated crosswalks or the front pickup point.
We know the first few days can feel a little hectic. After about a week, the pickup process typically becomes much smoother as everyone gets into a routine.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work together to keep dismissal safe and efficient for all of our East Side Bulldogs! 💜🐾

East Side-Tomorrow we will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day, and we invite everyone to wear green to join in the fun! It’s a great way to show some school spirit and celebrate the day together.
We also want to remind everyone that while some people joke about “pinching” if someone isn’t wearing green, at school we keep our hands to ourselves. Even on fun days, it’s important to show respect and kindness to others. So remember: no pinching—keep those hands to yourself!
Let’s celebrate by wearing green, showing great behavior, and making it a fun and respectful day for everyone at East Side. ☘️💚
