East Elementary School

All students learned bus safety procedures from Mr. Chad and Mr. Travis today. 🚌

Before and After School Pick-up: Working with MPD, we have some concerns about the pick-up and drop-off process at CLJ. Attached is a map and directions on what we need parents to do when coming to the school in the mornings and afternoons. We need everyone to be safe. Give yourself some extra time and look out for students coming and going from school.

K-12 students will be starting school on Wednesday, August 13th. This is a reminder that we will have several young drivers and buses back on the road. Please be careful around intersections, both in town and out on gravel roads. Be safe, and give yourself time.

Reminder: August 13th is our first day of school-hooray! Doors are unlocked at 7:30 and the school day begins at 8:05. Please arrive before 8:00 if your child needs breakfast. Staff members will be at the doors greeting and helping kids get to their "start their day" places. Dismissal will begin around 31:15 but official school end time is at 3:20. Please send a filled water bottle with your kiddo to school each day. We're excited for an awesome first day!

Meet your teacher, take back to school photos, tour the school, and drop off your school supplies...

And just like that we have our new kindergarten students in the building and our hearts are full! We LOVE kindergarten jumpstart!

Kuper Field archway project near completion! At the new archway gate entry points are now installed at the MHS football field/track!!! This was a HUGE project as these were fabricated from scratch largely by the MHS metals class. There were many individuals and local businesses that assisted with this project so it was a fantastic school and community partnership!! A special thanks goes out to the following: Bob Carlson, Rick Chramosta, Grayson Tool, Minden Machine, Vincent Sumstine, Chad Schmidt, Travis Dassinger, and all of the MHS students who worked on this project. You will be able to read more about this project in the Minden Courier in the near future!!!

Incoming kindergarten students: You're invited to this optional jumpstart experience! (Official invitation will be in mailboxes soon.)

Good morning, we hope you are all having a wonderful summer! I have attached the back to school supply list for all of our 4th-8th grade students. Have a terrific finish to your summer and we will see you in just over a month!
