Principal's Message

Welcome to the Eastport Elementary School where an alliance of educators, parents, and students, are dedicated to providing a supportive, safe, and dynamic learning environment. We strive to foster a love for learning in our students and prepare them, both academically and socially, to attain excellence in where they are today and where they are heading in the future. We offer a wide variety of academic programs and a comprehensive social-emotional curriculum to create an atmosphere of learning as well as develop respect for ourselves and others. I’m honored to serve this community as the EES Principal and am looking forward to continuing the great traditions that have been established as well as seeing our students’ continued growth.

Dismissal: Dismissal begins at 3:10 pm and buses will leave the premises at 3:15 pm. Please ensure that an adult is present at your bus stop when your child is dropped off. Parents may pick up their children at the end of the day at the doors along Tuttle Avenue. You may park in the spaces behind the gym. Please remember to have proper identification for pick-up, to notify the school via note or phone call to 631.801.3186, and to arrive by 3:10 pm. 

Early Dismissal: If there is an emergency or if it is necessary to pickup your child before the end of the school day, please do so prior to 2:35 pm. You will need to park in the visitor spaces in the main lot, not where the buses are lined up. Please send your child to school with a note, when possible, stating that you will be picking them up at a specific time and your child will need to provide this note to their classroom teacher.

Throughout the district, elementary school students were found with a book as they celebrated Read Across America. From reading a favorite or new book to participating in literacy activities throughout the day, the schools observed the national literacy event with fun and educating ways.  

Older students in the elementary buildings read to their younger peers in addition to teachers hosting read alouds. At Eastport Elementary School, students and their buddies collaborated on a Seuss Sock craft during library class in recognition of the iconic author Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2. At Dayton Avenue, the students designed bookmarks for the books they were reading. 

Read Across America, sponsored by the National Education Association, commenced in 1998 to make children more excited about reading.
