East Dale Elementary School

Thank you to Woodman Financial for donating a new flag and helping East Dale celebrate Constitution Day!

Look who Buzzed down to East Dale ED the Bee and the Busy Bee Band Drumline Thanks for helping start our day great!!!!

Afternoon Change in dismissal….. If you are a family that uses the middle lane for your child, we are changing the pick-up procedure. If you use the middle lane, please start turning into the lower parking lot, find a parking space and Mrs. Kellar will bring your child to you. The inner lane by the sidewalk for pick up will remain the same. We are no longer walking students through the bus line to the cars in the middle. Once you are ready to leave, please proceed by turning right to go with traffic to exit the campus.

East Dale learners are preparing thank you cards for the veterans on the honor flight!! East Dale and the learning community helped to sponsor seats for America’s veterans as they travel to Washington DC to celebrate and share a day of honor at our nation’s memorials.

Our Attendance Target for September is Prefect Attendance! The grade level with the most apples in the basket will win a prize!!! We want to recognize our learners and award them for being present and on time every day. Remember Attendance matters!!!

Just a reminder for AFTERNOON car rider pickup….. If your child can load themselves, please use the outer lane by the sidewalk. An East Dale teacher will be at designated areas to load them into the cars. If your child cannot load themselves, please use the inner lane. Please pull up as far as you can because the inner lane becomes very congested. An East Dale teacher will escort your child to your car, please do not walk to the sidewalk to get your child. Please remember that there is always an option to ride the bus for arrival and dismissal.
