Welcome
to Eastside Elementary School. Eastside serves approximately 610
students, Pre-K through Fifth grade with approximately 68 faculty and
staff.
Eastside has a long history of academic excellence. The
curriculum
is based on the Sunshine State Standards. Students that need
remediation
are provided opportunities for help via small group instruction or
individual
tutors. All students participate in Art, Music, P.E. and Computer
Lab
each
week.
Eastside has a very active PTO and Parent Involvement Program.
Based on the 2007-2008 FCAT scores, Eastside received a grade of "A". This is the sixth consecutive year that Eastside has received an "A" under the Governor's A+ plan. Congratulations to all the students, parents, teachers and staff for your dedication and pursuit of academic excellence.
Students
at Eastside are exposed to a challenging curriculum based on the
Sunshine
State Standards. The curriculum is supplemented with various
learning
activities based on student need, seasonal activities, historic
events
and critical thinking strategies.
Eastside
is a "Reading First School". All students, K-5, participate in a
90 minute reading block. Initial instruction begins in the whole
group setting and then students are grouped and participate in various
learning centers. Differentiated instruction is provided to those
students needing additional help. Eastside was recognized as one
of the Top 10 Reading First schools in the state of Florida during the
2004-2005 School year.
Here are some facts about Eastside's history that I hope you find interesting. Eastside Elementary School opened its doors in the fall of 1959. The school facilities consisted of twelve classrooms and twelve teachers for grades one through six. In the next few years the school staff increased and the curriculum expanded with a traveling art teacher, guidance counselor and classroom aides.
