My son is in kindergarten. He has adjusted so well being in school and away from home. The teachers are nice and energized (despite the workload). From observation, the students seem to love the teachers as well. The teachers and admin communicate regularly. The administrators know the students' names.... not just a select few. I love the communication via DUO. I also appreciate the math and Science nights so the parents are able to see how well the students are doing and in what ways they can improve.

My son is in kindergaten. He has a speech impairment so some letters he can jot pronounce (sounding out the letters) yet he can read the letters. They can make it as if your child is incapable and if they do fall behind you will not know unless you contact his teacher. She is great, but if i never contacted her questioning her as to why my child is receiving so muvh homework, i would have never known that he was already behind in his comprehension and academic abilities. We were already 3 months into the school year when i found out, and as a parent, i am reteaching him everything at home because he seems to learn better at home then in his classroom. Now I am thinking about homeschooling him if I am doing all of this at home.

I have 2 boys that attend Eastside. My oldest will be in 3rd grade, and the youngest in 2nd grade. The teachers at ESES are awesome!! The communication is great, and I always know of events with advance notice. I have never had any problems with anything at Eastside. We actually live in the district for another elementary school, but I drive my kids to Eastside everyday. It is worth it. Thank you Ms. Dunnigan and the staff at ESES for doing such an awesome job and caring about the students!

I have two boys that attends Eastside Elementary. They're in 3rd and 4th grade. The upcoming school year, they will be in the 4th and 5th grades. Each and every day my boys talk about their favorite teacher/mentor "Mr. Bowen". Every morning they went to his classroom and he would help them with homework and have a mentoring session with them. Mr. Bowen has made soo much progress with my boys. He has worked with them since they were little. He also treated them like they were his own kids. Mr. Bowen goes out of his way to make the students at Eastside feel welcome. He has bought breakfast when they didn't have money to eat, and yet to say he gave them lunch money to eat lunch. Once Mr. Bowen announced that he will be going to another school, my boys bursted in tears! Including myself. On the last week of school my boys knew it was their time to spend countless hours with Mr. Bowen, so they begged me to let them stay with him. On the last day of school, when I picked them up they held onto Mr. Bowen would not let him go, begging him to stay at Eastside and etc... I am so thankful for those three years of service Mr. Bowen did at Eastside! He will be missed greatly!
