I have received several questions about our preschool for this school year. Class lists are available and families should be receiving a phone call from your child's teacher in the coming days. The first day for students is Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024. Please contact the elementary office at 740 226-6402 or email me at matt.hines@easternpike.com with any questions you may have. We are looking forward to a great year!

Eastern Elementary will be introducing a new “Decodables Adventure Lab” in the library this year to help meet the new state mandate to teach all reading based on The Science of Reading. This project is supported by the State Library of Ohio with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. https://www.facebook.com/USIMLS facebook.com/StateLibraryOhio

6th and 9th grade orientations will be held on Wednesday, August 14. Please call (740) 226-1544 to register for an orientation session. Due to space limitations, students should bring only one parent or close family member to orientation. Students in all other grade levels will also be able to pick up their schedules in the office on Wednesday, August 14. Thank you.
