EASTLAND'S STUDENT PLEDGE
I promise today to do my very best
In reading, math, and all the rest.

I also pledge to obey every rule,
In my class and while in school.

I will respect others and myself too,
I will expect the best in all I do.

I am here to learn all I can,
To try my best and be all that I am!

VISION STATEMENT
Eastland Elementary School is committed to the development of every student in the progression of realizing his or her full potential. In order to fulfill this obligation, we will afford our students with numerous educational and social opportunities that will assist them in solving problems, making rational decisions, and achieving higher levels of independence, cooperation, and responsibility. This will be consummated through challenging learning objectives in the content areas of english/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, intellectual, and emotional growth of every child. Essentially, our aspiration is to provide a safe, welcoming, and challenging atmosphere for learning where all children will be encouraged and expected to strive for their very best.
