The Eastside Elementary School believes that the purpose of education in the schools of this district is to facilitate the development of each child to the fullest. The school staff seeks to recognize individual differences and to stimulate achievement and progress, not only in basic skills, but in the ability to think independently and critically.
Eastside is committed to maintaining a balance between the principal's leadership and the teacher's autonomy. It also believes that class size should be designed for maximum teacher effectiveness and personal interaction between teachers and students. Eastside also places a special emphasis on student and parent involvement in school activities and an effective relationship between home, school, and community.
The staff is committed to the development of a curriculum based on appropriately high expectations. In addition, the staff believes that all children can learn and do so at differing levels and rates.
