Congratulations to our August Students and Staff of the month. These students and staff showed great effort and willingness to help others during the month of August. #Commit #Studentofthemonth
First Grade Fun in August: We used cubes and counters to help us solve math equations, read books with friends, and began writing narrative stories.
On September 15, 2003, Peter H. Reynolds wrote The Dot, a book about a reluctant art student who learns how far her imagination can take her. On September 15, we celebrate the spirit of the book and the power of imagination.
Students are invited to express their creativity by wearing polka dots on Friday, September 15!
2nd Grade has had a great start to the school year! In Science, we learned about the phases of the moon. In Math, we have been working on solving addition and subtraction problems using base ten blocks.
Kindergarten had such a fun month of August. We dressed in the color of the week and worked on reading and math skills.
Three Eastside teachers were recognized for their commitment to Polk County School District at a district-wide assembly. Congratulations to Mrs. Bullington, Mrs. Brownlow, and Mrs. Gober and thank you for consistently working to meet the needs of Eastside students. #Committed
🛑📣IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT📣🛑
Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Students worked together to figure out how to save, "Willy the Worm" from the water without using their hands to move him off his island.
We've had a blast in 4th Grade over the past few weeks!
Thank you to all the parents that joined us this week at the Title I Annual Parent Meetings, the Pastries with the Principal, and the Back to School Night. We had some wonderful and enlightening conversations. #BetterTogether #Committed

🔔🔔HOW CAN YOU HELP?🔔🔔
Did you know? Polk School District provides food, clothing, and mental health services as part of our Graduate Polk program which was created to remove any barrier that stands in the way of getting a student to graduation day. It has been a huge success, but only because of the continued support of our partners.
We have partnered with Purposity in these efforts. Would you help if a student needed shoes, or a family lost their home in a fire? We think so. By signing up with Purposity, you will get one weekly text, read a student’s story and decide if you’ll help right from your phone. Purposity allows you to quickly and easily lend a hand to a student/family in need. Sign up at the link below to join us in our efforts!

There have been many questions/comments related to changes in the rivalry game that is now scheduled for Thursday, August 17 at 7 p.m.
In response, please note the following:
1. Why did PSD change the game?
Polk School District did not make the decision to change the game. The Officials Association that is experiencing a major employee shortage, like many, informed us of the new date.
2. Why can we not play on Saturday?
We asked if it was possible to play on Saturday. Unfortunately, that was not an option.
3. Can the game not start earlier?
We asked to have the game begin earlier than 7:30. Officials that are available are traveling from all over the state which takes time; however, we were able to back it up 30 minutes to 7:00 p.m.
4. Do we know if any more games will be changed in the future?
No, we were notified Sunday afternoon regarding this week’s change. As of now, they review games and personnel on a weekly basis.
5. We are aware that other teams have conflicting events already scheduled?
Yes, we realize fall is a busy time. Again, we were not given any options related to other available dates.
We realize there are many emotions and expectations that come with this annual event. We, like so many in the community, share in the disappointment that the game has been moved to Thursday. It is an inconvenience related to all that has been planned in anticipation of the big game and regularly scheduled events (spirit days, pep rallies, school picture days, etc.) However, at the end of the day, we have many hard-working players, cheerleaders, and band members that deserve the opportunity to enjoy this game despite all the factors that we cannot control. We appreciate our dedicated fans and stakeholders that empathize, understand, and continue to support our efforts. We look forward to a great game! ❤️🖤💛 Go Dawgs! ❤️🖤🐾 Go Jackets 💛🖤🐝
📣📣ATTENTION POLK COUNTY COMMUNITY!🏈🏈
We have an important update regarding the highly anticipated rivalry game between Cedartown and Rockmart this week! The game has been rescheduled to take place on Thursday, August 17th, instead of the initially planned date of Friday, August 18th.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as this change was unavoidable due to the availability of game officials. We hope to see our community show up to support our Cedartown Bulldogs and Rockmart Yellow Jackets as they battle it out on the field! Let's pack the stands and cheer on our teams!
