East Pike Elementary School Home

It has been a long summer with many ups, downs, twists, and turns, but we are finally ready to reopen our schools.  This coming Tuesday, September 8th will be the first day of a school year that will be very different from any previous school year.

The IASD School Health Services Department is available to offer support and answer a variety of questions you may have as we welcome back our students today!

Check out the video tour Mrs. Lychalk shared for our "Pikers!" We cannot wait to see our students!

Please review this important reminder about the daily screening we are asking families to complete.

Please take a moment to read a "Welcome Back" letter from Mr. Springer.

We have developed this plan for instruction for students through November 6th to give you and our students and families stability.  In order to operate effectively, we have to finalize our class rosters and family selections.  We have been very flexible in allowing families to contact their child’s school to discuss the options available and address any concerns or questions that exist.  At this point, in order to be ready for the start of the school year, we respectfully ask that you understand that we will not be making any changes to selections at the current time.  If something arises and you feel your circumstances are unique, please contact your child’s principal to discuss what can be done.

As we prepare for the reopening schools, I find it prudent to explain some possible scenarios the District might be faced with regarding the pandemic.  As you know, we are closely following the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Education’s (DOE) guidelines for responding to confirmed COVID-19 cases, contact tracing, and potentially closing schools.

As we make final preparations for your students’ safe arrival on September 8, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of important mandates we all must follow.
