Eastside Elementary PE update from the past few weeks! 💪🎉
PE activity stations have been keeping students moving and building a wide range of skills—frisbee throwing, underhand tossing with corn hole, basketball shooting, and riding floor scooters 🏀🥏.
Students in 3rd–5th grade also set individual health and wellness goals, taking ownership of their fitness and personal growth ❤️🔥
One of the biggest hits? Hula Hoop Showdown! Students hop through hula hoops, and when they meet a classmate, it’s time for a friendly battle of rock, paper, scissors ✊✋✌️. Winners keep moving and can earn points for their team—lots of laughter, teamwork, and movement all around!
We love seeing our students active, engaged, and having fun while learning about lifelong healthy habits! 👟✨

WEATHER UPDATE: Polk School District will open with a two-hour delayed start on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. The additional time will ensure our buses and facilities are fully operational and warm. This means all bus routes, school openings, and start times will be shifted forward by 2 hours from their regularly scheduled times. For example, a 7:00 AM bus pickup will now be a 9:00 AM pickup, etc. There will be no change in dismissal procedures.
Please ensure all students are dressed warmly for tomorrow's frigid temperatures. Wear layers, hats, gloves, and scarves.
We appreciate your continued understanding and support as we take these precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff during these extreme cold conditions.
Snow Much Fun learning in Pre-k!❄️❤️
