Principal's Message

Welcome to the Eastport Elementary School where an alliance of educators, parents, and students, are dedicated to providing a supportive, safe, and dynamic learning environment. We strive to foster a love for learning in our students and prepare them, both academically and socially, to attain excellence in where they are today and where they are heading in the future. We offer a wide variety of academic programs and a comprehensive social-emotional curriculum to create an atmosphere of learning as well as develop respect for ourselves and others. I’m honored to serve this community as the EES Principal and am looking forward to continuing the great traditions that have been established as well as seeing our students’ continued growth.

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.

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.

Dayton Avenue and Eastport Elementary students drew packed audiences during recent stage performances of “Mary Poppins, Jr.” and “Beauty and the Beast,” respectively.

Under director Tori Gonzalez, stage director Peter Edwards and musical director Kaitlyn Somerville, the colorful and talented cast performed the beloved classical favorite “Mary Poppins, Jr.” on April 25 and April 26, which included a similar storyline, cast of characters and playlist as the Broadway and television versions. Likewise, Eastport Elementary School thespians wowed the audience with their rendition of the beloved fairytale “Beauty and the Beast” on March 28 and March 29, under the direction of Melanie Mauriello. The students also kept to the main storyline of the Disney version and included the same familiar and beloved characters and songs.

Mr. Gonzalez spoke for both schools when she said the students worked really hard for weeks to prepare for their opening nights on stage. Borrowing a line form the show, she said, “They certainly deserve recognition for their efforts. The show [“Mary Poppins, Jr.”] was practically perfect in every way.”
