News and Spotlights

Buckle up Eastover!  We have a very busy final four weeks of school ahead!  With only 19 more school days there are many events that will celebrate our students and their growth.  I encourage you to look through this email and start plotting out your calendar.  Many of these events will rely on adult volunteerism so a HUGE thank you in advance if you are able to give a little time to support our staff and students!

Medication:

As we wrap up the school year, if your child has medicine in the clinic it needs to be picked up in the office.

Our last day of school is Friday, June 13th - dismissal at 12:20 pm.  If your child has medicine in our clinic, plan to pick it up no later than June 17th.  The office will be open on a limited basis on Monday, June 16th & Tuesday the 17th for medicine pick up as well.  Due to construction, please call 248-341-7100 to make arrangements if medication needs to be picked up on June 16 or 17.

Any medicines not picked up by the end of day on the 17th will be disposed of properly.  

Lost and Found:

We will be donating all remaining items on June 13, the last day of school.

Our Lost and Found is filling back up!  Our Lost and Found is in an area adjacent to our front office so students and their families may access it.  Please take a look to be reunited with those beloved missing items!  

Due to construction and the work being done in the school anything not picked up will be donated to a local shelter/charity on June 13. 

Field day preparations are well underway! The day is set for Wednesday, June 4th! (Thursday, June 5th is our rain date). Grades 3rd/4th/5th will have the morning time slot (9:50 - 11:00am) while DK/K/1st/2nd graders will have the afternoon time slot (1:50-3:00pm). .

Help us celebrate Eastover’s beloved therapy dog by sponsoring a birthday gift in his honor! From food to grooming, toys to vet visits, each donation supports our Therapy Dog Program and keeps Camper happy, healthy, and ready to spread love to our students. 

Great Fun is Ahead at the Eastover Library!!

You might laugh, but summer will be upon us shortly, and then we will be tasked with searching for all the suggested school supplies for the fall.  What if I told you that our administration and PTO wanted to take something off your plate?  We've reviewed and updated all the suggested school supply lists for each grade and made the shopping as simple as it could possibly get! 

Introducing 1st Day School Supplies! Now is your chance to quickly order your child’s school supplies for next year, all at once and have them delivered right to school!  No more crowded stores, missing supplies or long checkout lines. We locked in the lowest prices months ago, so with rising prices at Walmart, Target and Amazon don’t get stuck paying more!

The best part is Eastover will receive $5 back from every single box ordered!  We are making life a little bit easier and giving back to our school community in the process!   

Thanks to our partnership with 1st Day School Supplies, everything is 100% teacher-approved, and guaranteed to be delivered on time.  Please check out this video below and scan the QR code on the flyer, or click this link to get your orders done before the summer even begins! (Deadline is July 1) https://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/gs/51911  "

New this year!  Instead of filling out the orange form when your child has a change in their dismissal is our Eastover Dimissal Change Form.  While you can still send in the orange form with your change of plans, the digital form is a more efficient way of communicating the change with our office.  The QR Code above is a quick way to submit your information.
