Welcome To Eastwood Elementary School! Welcome to Eastwood School We are delighted that you have chosen to visit Marshall Elementary Schools. As you may know, each of our Elementary Schools is a grade level Attendance Center. We also have two sections of kindergarten at Eastwood Elementary. Eastwood School is a Third Grade Attendance Center. This year we have the following classes: 3rd-----------8 sections of regular education K-------------2 sections of regular education Our class size in third grade averages 22 students. In Kindergarten our class size averages 24 students. We offer Title One Reading (K & 3rd grade), ESL, Learning Disabilities, Speech, and OT/PT. Mrs. Nancy Kleinschmidt is our Licensed Professional Counselor. She offers individual, small and large group counseling. Our school discipline is based on the Ozanam B.I.S.T. model. “We accept all children where they are and want them to have a safe learning environment. It is O.K. for a child to have a problem, but it is not O.K. for the child to stay stuck there. We will help the child to own responsibility for the problem and to develop a plan to take responsibility for his/her actions and solve the problem”. Some of the things you will hear when in our school: Teacher and staff members smiling and talking one-on-one with students in a calm, caring manner – listening and trying to get beneath the hurt to the heart of each student. Class meetings where shared decision-making takes place Teachers offering more choices in the classroom Students thinking and writing about their choices in a quiet area (using a think sheet) Teachers and students developing plans together Teachers forming partnerships with parents Students with more confidence and increased self-esteem We at Eastwood School are committed to providing an educational program and environment that will meet individual student academic, social and emotional needs. All students are encouraged to reach their potential. Please visit the Elementary Calendar to view all our scheduled building activities.
