🌨❄️ WEATHER UPDATE 🌨❄️
Polk School District will open with a delayed start on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. 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 two hours from the 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.
We encourage all students to dress warmly for tomorrow's frigid temperatures. Wear layers, hats, gloves, and scarves. Additionally, we urge all of our bus riders to utilize our Here Comes the Bus app to minimize time outside waiting for the bus to arrive.
We appreciate your continued understanding and partnership as we take these precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff during these extreme winter conditions.
🌨❄️ WEATHER UPDATE 🌨❄️
Due to the State of Emergency now in effect and the uncertainty surrounding the possibility for winter weather conditions to develop during the school day, Polk School District will be closed Tuesday, January 21, 2025, as part of our commitment to ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership. Stay safe and warm.
If you have reserved your spot, mark your calendars for Lunch with Loved Ones coming in February.
If you have not yet signed up, you can still send in the form to attend. However, we are no longer to accept orders for meals.
Mark your calendar for the Thrive in 2025 event on January 25 at the Cedartown campus of the Polk County College and Career Academy.
It's too cold to cook! Go grab some McDonald's tonight! See you there.
Happy Holidays from First Grade!
Our students had an absolute blast during the ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman?’ Teamwork Relay in PE! ❄️ This fun activity got everyone moving as they practiced running, taking turns, following directions, and showing great sportsmanship. We look forward to hearing about all of the real snowmen students create!

This year, Eastside families helped build a Traditions Tree by sharing a family tradition on an ornament. We think it turned out pretty well.
We wish you a holiday season of peace and togetherness as you enjoy your traditions with your families.

Winter Wonderland in 5th Grade
4th & 5th graders crushed it during our PE Jump Rope Challenge! 🎯 Students worked hard to conquer and sign off on each level by completing 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and even 200 consecutive jumps. The energy and excitement were contagious—and even some of our EES teachers jumped in (literally)! 🏆 Way to go, everyone!
Dressed like it's a Winter Wonderland.
Fifth graders are learning about electricity.
