Welcome to Eastern Heights

Our small school has a big heart. We are a "family". Nestled in a quiet East Side neighborhood, Eastern Heights Elementary celebrates inclusion of the rich cultural diversity of our students and their families each day. Teachers here know there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to education, so we focus on Restorative Practices, Culturally Relevant Teaching, and Integrating Technology into our academic instruction to Personalize Learning for each child.

Eastern Heights Elementary: Educate for a Better Tomorrow

As always childcare will be provided, so bring the little ones. Come to get involved & voice your joys and concerns! We are looking forward to family voices on our school decision-making teams! We hope to include your guidance in making our school better for each student and representing cultural relevance in our academic and social school community curricula.

Watch for upcoming opportunities to help us in decision making and planning for the upcoming year!
We're here WITH YOU!

Our Superintendent Dr Gothard speaks to the Strategic Plan calling for Culturally Relevant Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Restorative Practices and Social Emotional Learning.

At Eastern Heights each person has gifts and talents, is peaceful and kind and is here to learn! We are a Restorative Community at school, at home and in our community. We have school-wide Restorative Practices as we support our community of learners small and tall, through building strong relationships, responding to challenges with Restorative Impulse, Trauma Sensitive Practices, PBIS, and developing our Social Emotional Competencies.
