Hopefully, everyone had a wonderful spring break. Time sure marches on here at East End Intermediate School.

We are already in our fourth nine weeks of this school year. There were some exciting things we accomplished this month. Both chess teams, 3rd/4th and 5th/6th, won the first place team trophies at Regionals in Pine Bluff. Fifth-grade Team B brought home second place at the annual Quiz Bowl tournament. We also had some distinguished guests. Children’s author Eric Luper Skyped with students during library time. Karla Koon came and spoke to the fifth graders about Grant County Law Day and the Branches of the Government Poster Contest.

Assessment April    

April is one of the most critical months. All students will take the ACT Aspire Summative Assessment in English, Reading, Writing, Math, and Science. Third grade leads the way on April 10-11. Fourth grade is next April 18-19. Fifth grade tests April 24-25. Sixth grade finishes strong on April 26-27. Some tips to help students during those stressful days are make sure your child gets a good night’s rest, eats a healthy breakfast, and is on time.

EEI busy down the stretch

Do you have a child who needs to start kindergarten next year? The East End Elementary registration event was held in March, but it is not too late to enroll for the 2018-19 school year. Enrollment packets can be found on the Sheridan Schools website at www.sheridanschools.org or picked up at the school office. We are looking forward to meeting our new Yellowjacket students.

Construction progress

“A little progress each day adds up to big results.” This quote certainly applies to the Sheridan School District.

The work with building projects is gaining progress each day.  If you would like to view a detailed rendering of the future East End Middle School, we invite you to drop by East End Elementary to check it out. It is an exciting time in YJ Nation!

Honoring the military

April has been designated as the Month of the Military Child. On April 13, East End Elementary will honor our military kids by wearing purple. It would be great to see purple throughout our entire community to support these students and families.

We invite all of our patrons to PURPLE UP!
