Important Information

Bus transportation: Students are not permitted to go on any other bus than the one that they are assigned to and are required to sit in assigned seats.

Drop-off: If you plan on driving your child to school do not enter campus from Montauk Highway. Please use the student drop-off loop which is located behind the gymnasium, near the playground. The drop-off loop is accessed from Tuttle Avenue.

Dismissal: Dismissal begins at 3:10 pm and buses will leave the premises at 3:15 pm. Please ensure that an adult is present at your bus stop when your child is dropped off. Parents may pick up their children at the end of the day at the doors along Tuttle Avenue. You may park in the spaces behind the gym. Please remember to have proper identification for pick-up, to notify the school via note or phone call to 631.801.3186, and to arrive by 3:10 pm. 

Early Dismissal: If there is an emergency or if it is necessary to pickup your child before the end of the school day, please do so prior to 2:35 pm. You will need to park in the visitor spaces in the main lot, not where the buses are lined up. Please send your child to school with a note, when possible, stating that you will be picking them up at a specific time and your child will need to provide this note to their classroom teacher.

Releasing of Students: Children will only be released to parents/guardians or emergency contacts (with prior permission). Photo identification is required when releasing a student from the building.

When your child returns to school from an absence, please send a note indicating the date(s) and reason why they were absent from school.

Eastport Elementary School fifth grader Keira Peters is the winner of the Long Island Rail Road’s 2024-2025 School Safety S.O.C.K.S. Contest. Keira created the winning message about safety around the LLRR’s trains and tracks in the form of a picture, which has since been reproduced on socks through the LIRR’s partnership with John’s Crazy Socks.   

The Safety S.O.C.K.S. contest is an annual competition through the LIRR’s Together Railroad and Communities Keeping Safe or TRACKS Program. S.O.C.K.S. is the acronym for Saving Our Communities by Keeping Them Safe. Keira was the selected winner for the kindergarten through fifth grade category and is the first Eastport-South Manor student to receive the award. She created her design during an art class with teacher Jamie Walsh.  

LIRR President Robert Free accompanied LIRR Vice President and Chief Safety Officer Dr. Loretta Ebbighausen to personally present Keira with her award and a pair of socks with her winning design and message. Mr. Free explained to the students, faculty and Keira’s parents that the contest is a great opportunity for students to learn and for the LIRR to teach safety around railroad tracks.  

“We are a community and want to show that we care about your safety on the railroad,” Mr. Free said.

Eastport Elementary School students learned the fundamentals of putting together a newscast, under the direction of Emmy Award winning journalist Cheryl Wills thumbnail266506

Eastport Elementary School students learned the fundamentals of putting together a newscast, under the direction of Emmy Award winning journalist Cheryl Wills of Spectrum TV News/NY 1.  

Divided into groups, the students were designated as producer, director, camera crew, audio crew, newscaster and guest to deliver a live newscast from a prewritten script. The students quickly learned that timing is everything in television news and were able to personally feel the pressure of being on a live television crew. 

“There is not a time when putting out a newscast is not overwhelming,” Ms. Wills told the students. “But the process and outcome are very fulfilling.” 

When all of the news scripts were recorded, the students settled down with Ms. Wills for a watch party to appreciate their work.
