setting. Reading The Reading Department offers the student the best of all worlds as they concentrate upon a two part goal - to improve the students’ reading abilities as they develop an interest in reading for the pure fun that it can offer. In addition to skill work in the areas of word recognition and comprehension, the students are encouraged to read independently. The Reading classes are kept small so that the teachers can work individually with each student in an effort to bring out the most positive attitudes for success. The atmosphere is relaxed and personal. The skill and dedication of East’s Reading specialists creates an environment that can only enhance the learning experience as the students set their own personal goals for their own success. Most of us take for granted that we will understand our course work because we understand our teachers’ language. They speak in English for that is our native tongue. We may not understand abstract language of math or the technical terminoloy of science, but we understand the words. Our school has many foreign- born students who have a doubly difficult task because English is not their native tongue. For this reason. East offers ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. English Second As A Language This valuable program helps integrate the students who speak other languages with the main body of East students who only speak in English. As communication skills are developed and meshed into English, the students increase their knowledge of the English language so they can better adjust and function in a more comfortable class

Child Study The Child Study team, a branch of Pupil Personnel Services, provides information and consultation for stu- dents, parents, teachers, and staff members. Employing learning, psy- chological, and social evaluations, the team analyzes students’ needs and then creates an individual edu- cation plan designed to alleviate aca- demic frustration. This is accom- plished by making course adjust- ments to recommending relocation in an alternative situation, if the need is beneficial to the student. Foremost in the entire assessment process is to help the student adjust and perform successfully in the most “normal” atmosphere available. Special Education The Special Education team work with and for the students who need special attention in maintaining their academic achievements. Because of a diversity of reasons, these students who do not learn within the guidelines of what is considered average, have the skills of these staff members to evaluate and monitor their progress. By individualizing their education levels to the students’ special needs, they are assisted in reaching their maximum potential to make the best use of what East has to offer. l.eah Skinner l.ibby Falk Brad end when we received our diploma.
