Dear Parents/Guardians:

On behalf of the East Broadway Elementary School staff, I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2024-25 school year! As summer draws to a close, we are eagerly anticipating an exciting and enriching year ahead. Our team has been hard at work preparing for a successful and safe start for all our students and their families.

As I embark on my fifth year as Principal of East Broadway, I am continually inspired by the strength and unity of our community. As Polar Bears, we understand that our community is the cornerstone of our students' educational experience. We cherish the collaboration between our dedicated teachers and supportive families and strive to create a school environment where every student feels welcomed and valued.

This year, we remain committed to fostering a positive school climate through Responsive Classroom. This approach emphasizes student-centered, social, and emotional learning practices designed to cultivate safe, joyful, and engaging classrooms.

This year promises to offer many new and exciting learning opportunities for our students. We will continue with our ELA curriculum, Into Reading, which has proven to be a high-quality and engaging program, appropriately rigorous and well-organized to support our students' knowledge-building. Additionally, our K-2 students will continue to benefit from Fundations, a multisensory and systematic program that enhances phonics, spelling, and handwriting. These programs will further enrich our already dynamic and authentic learning environment.

Please stay tuned for more updates and important information as we prepare for the upcoming school year.

I also wanted to provide you with an update on important information for the upcoming start of the school year:

Arrival/Dismissal: Doors open at 9:00 am. Students are dismissed at 3:28. We will be sending out additional information regarding procedures for arrival and dismissal prior to the start of the school year via ParentSquare and the school's website.

Lunch Price- $2.75

Enjoy the rest of your summer. We are excited to welcome you back on September 4th.

Sincerely,
Mr. Jordan Margolis
