April 23, 2012, at 12:23 am The CRCT is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge described in the Georgia Performance Standards and the Quality Core Curriculum. The assessments yield information on academic achievement at the student, class, school, system and state levels. The information helps gauge the quality of education throughout Georgia.The test can also create quite a bit of anxiety for students and parents.
The Georgia Department of Education provides several tips for parents to help their children, such as making sure their child gets plenty of sleep, a good breakfast, to school on time with the proper materials and a big hug.

May 2, 2011, at 8:32 am Hard to believe that we are in our last month of the 2010/2011 school year! What a fantastic year we have had so far and we have a few more great weeks with lots of fun ahead!
Here are a few things not to miss this week!!!!!
Walk to School Day: Come join your classmates and their families on Wednesday May 4th as we walk or bike to school on East Side’s last Walk to School Day of the year, It’s a lot of fun to get some exercise and help the environment. Walk or bike with your family or with a neighborhood group. In honor of our last Walk to School Day, the first 400 walkers and bikers will receive a special Walk to School Prize Bag!
East Side Celebration: After much anticipation, our new school is almost complete. We will move into the new building in the fall, but before we do, we would all like to say good-bye to our old, beloved building. East Side was constructed in 1952 and it has grown and changed over the last 59 years. It has gone from a small neighborhood school to a school that has over 1000 students.
On Thursday, May 5th from 5:30 – 8 PM, we are planning an East Side Celebration to look back over the last 60 years and remember with fondness all that has happened in our wonderful school. Please join us as we celebrate East Side. We will have music, historic memorabilia, children’s art work, and refreshments. It will be our community’s last walk-through before we move on to our bigger and better new building. Mark your calendars now and plan to say “thanks for the memories, East Side!”
Volunteer Tea: We would love to thank all of our East Side volunteers that give their time and energy. We hope that you will join us for a Volunteer Tea on Monday, May 9th from 9 – 11 AM in the Media Center for a light brunch in appreciation for all you do to support the East Side staff and students.
