Eastover Elementary School

Eastover Elementary School Visit the PTA website at http://eastoverpta.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/HOME Uniforms strengthen school unity and foster a sense of pride among Eastover students.

Eastover Elementary School, an Honor School of Excellence, is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the heart of the Eastover neighborhood. The school serves the neighborhoods of Cherry, Cotswold, Eastover, Elizabeth, Seigle Avenue and a portion of Myers Park. SCHOOL FEATURES:

Uniform School: Eastover was the first elementary school in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School (CMS) district to succes

sfully implement a required uniform policy. Special Area Classes: In addition to the challenging and innovative instruction in the regular classroom, we also offer excellent services for the visually impaired. Each week, all students rotate between five special area classes which include Technology, Music, Art, Media and Physical Education. These classes work hand in hand with the regular classroom to enrich the academic curriculum. Cultural Arts and STEM Enrichment: Students participate in many arts and experimental activities which enrich the teaching of science, social studies and other areas of the curriculum. They take numerous field trips throughout the year to enhance their classroom studies. In addition, students also have hands on experience with classroom pets and our Eastover garden. We are delighted to donate our crop to Friendship Trays which serves our very own Cherry community. Our 1st and 2nd grades also benefit from weekly chess instruction. After School: Eastover has a tuition-based after school program for working parents. This is a program that is managed by the CMS ASEP department and located at Eastover. It is offered afterschool until 6:00 pm and has earned a five-star rating. In addition to ASEP, Eastover also offers many afterschool clubs including running, golf, soccer and chess. PTA: Eastover's PTA has one of the most active memberships in Mecklenburg County. It supports the school community by raising money each year to support school-wide initiatives including providing technology for the 21st century learner, staff development support, additional classroom materials, books for our libraries and novel studies, interactive whiteboards, cultivating community partners and organizing a variety of activities for prospective, new and current families.

Blessing Box


The 4th and 5th grade classes are participating in a local Charlotte kindness project, the Blessing Box Campaign. The organization About Face Charlotte is hoping to inspire kindness and service with the launch of The Blessing Box campaign. The project is designed to address social challenges in our community by providing a vehicle to teach and develop habits of kindness and compassion because we all have the ability to make a difference.

Each 5th grade class is taking a box and launching the program with Valentine's Day. Instead of the traditional candy and paper valentines that the season shows us, they are focusing on truly spreading love and kindness to those around us in a more meaningful way. Ms. Y is bringing it to each 4th grade class during health where the focus is on empathy, compassion, respect, and gratitude. The curriculum fits in perfectly with the goals of the Blessing Box campaign.
