What are the school hours?
Students may enter the building at 7:20 a.m. and go to their classrooms.
Students must be in class by 7:50 a.m. and dismissal begins at 2:20 p.m.
--------------------------------------
When is a student marked tardy?
Students must be in their classroom when the 7:50 bell rings or they are
marked tardy. Any student that arrives after the 7:50 a.m. bell rings is
tardy, and parents are required to bring the child to the office and sign
them in. The student is given a tardy slip to admit them to class. If a
student is riding a Cobb County School Bus and the bus arrives late the
student is not marked tardy.
--------------------------------------
How much do lunches cost?
Lunches are $1.60 for students and $2.50 for adults.
--------------------------------------
How do I pay for lunch?
You may pay by the day, month or semester. Each student has a lunch account
and deductions are made when the child purchases a lunch. You will be
notified when additional funds are needed. You may also pay on line by
going to www.mealpay.com You will be able to put money on your child's
lunch account, monitor the account balance, etc. By using this system you
will know when your child needs money on his/her account and you will be
able to add money using your credit card/debit card.
--------------------------------------
Can I prevent my child from buying ice cream, chips, etc?
Children are allowed to purchase ice cream, chips or other a la carte
items. If you do not wish for your child to use their lunch account for the
purchase of these items, please notify the cafe manager and the child's
account will be flagged to prevent these purchases.
--------------------------------------
What is the After School Program (ASP)?
The After School Program is a childcare program provided to all students
enrolled at East Side Elementary. The program operates every day that school
is in session. The program begins at dismissal and operates until 6:00 p.m.
The fee is $7.00 per day/per child, plus a $10.00 annual registration fee for
each child. There is a $1.00 per minute late pick up fee for all students not
picked up by 6:00 p.m. Snacks are provided and enrichment programs are
offered (computer classes, chess, dance, art, etc.).
--------------------------------------
How does my child become Mystery Student?
The names of all East Side students are placed in the Mystery Student Jar.
Names are drawn each morning and announced. If the student called is
present and was on time he/she goes to the office to get their prize. If
students are absent or tardy on the day their name is drawn they lose their
prize. By the end of the school year, every student's name will be drawn.

East Side's school colors are yellow and royal blue. Our school mascot is
the tiger.
