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.

Important Information

Bus transportation: Students are not permitted to go on any other bus than the one that they are assigned to and are required to sit in assigned seats.

Drop-off: If you plan on driving your child to school do not enter campus from Montauk Highway. Please use the student drop-off loop which is located behind the gymnasium, near the playground. The drop-off loop is accessed from Tuttle Avenue.

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.

Releasing of Students: Children will only be released to parents/guardians or emergency contacts (with prior permission). Photo identification is required when releasing a student from the building. 

Absences/Tardiness: Please call 631-801-3186 prior to 10 am if your child is absent. If you don’t notify the school prior to 10 am, you will receive automated calls to any numbers that we have on file.
When your child returns to school from an absence, please send a note indicating the date(s) and reason why they were absent from school.

Elementary Students Go to the Polls

Elementary Students Go to the Polls thumbnail262197

The District’s elementary school students participated in the democratic process on Nov. 4 by casting their votes in mock elections.

At Dayton Avenue School, fourth grade students learned about the voting process and about making informed decisions before voting for their favorite cookie, Chips Ahoy or Oreos. During an assignment called The Great Cookie Debate, they were also instructed to write an essay defending their decision. The essays were placed on a bulletin board for peers to read. Additionally, students voted schoolwide on whether they want revised school hours.

Eastport Elementary and Tuttle Avenue students also voted for their favorite sharks. Tuttle Avenue students voted between the great white and tiger shark. Student ambassadors lead the voting process by explaining to peers how to vote and awarding “I Voted” stickers. Eastport students chose between the bull shark and hammerhead shark. Using the school’s new Glowforge machine and inspired by the book “Who Would Win,” the winning shark will have a cutout printed out and displayed in the cafeteria.

After the votes are counted and the winners are announced, students in all three schools participated in further discussions about the results.

Eastport Elementary School celebrates literacy

Eastport Elementary School celebrates literacy thumbnail261563

Eastport Elementary School students place literacy at the top of their priorities, as seen during two events held on Oct. 9.  

Thanks to the Eastport PTO, students will now have an additional source for selecting books. The group generously purchased a book vending machine, which is now located in the school library. Library helpers and students exhibiting leadership behavior joined library media specialist Alyssa Sorensen and Principal Thomas Fabian for a ribbon-cutting on Oct. 9. 

 “The novelty of the vending machine and the ability for students to keep the books they select will generate excitement and appreciation for literacy,” Ms. Sorensen explained.  

Each Eastport Elementary student has a reading bookmark on the corner of their library folder. Every time a student reads a book, they fill out a reading report and receive a punch on their bookmark. After receiving five punches, students will be rewarded a coin to choose a book from the vending machine. 

The Eastport Elementary School Reading Club’s Hollywood Walk of Fame also showcased the students’ reading stamina and creativity while also walking the red carpet. During the summer, participants in grades 3-6 collectively read 88,910 minutes and completed a book project, which included either a collage, poster and/or book cover. The projects included characters from some of their favorite stories, and the projects lined the walls of the gymnasium for peers to explore.  

As each of the students’ names were called, they walked down the red carpet as their peers applauded and were handed a certificate of recognition from Mr. Fabian and Ms. Sorensen. These students will hopefully motivate their peers to participate in the reading club next summer.
