✨ Welcome Back, EICSD Staff! ✨

Today, we officially kicked off the 2026-27 school year with an inspiring Opening Day program celebrating the people who make East Irondequoit such a special place to learn and grow.

The morning began with a memorable student-teacher trombone performance, followed by remarks from Eastridge Class of 2027 President and Student Board of Education Representative, who reminded us of the impact our work has on students every day.

We also proudly recognized dedicated staff members celebrating milestones of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years of service. A special congratulations goes to Pat Martin, whose incredible 60 years of service to our district is a testament to a lifetime of commitment to East Irondequoit students and families.

The program concluded with the presentation of our Outstanding Lancer Awards:

🏆 Diane Martello – Outstanding Lancer Elementary Educator
🏆 Melissa Paquin – Outstanding Lancer Secondary Educator
🏆 Kristen Munger – Outstanding Lancer Staff Member

Congratulations to all of our honorees and thank you to every member of our EICSD team for your dedication, passion, and commitment to our students.

Here's to a fantastic 2026-27 school year! 💙

Last night, our district was proud to welcome 220 senior citizens for our annual Senior Citizen Dinner and Show. Guests enjoyed a complimentary dinner followed by a performance of the Eastridge Spring Musical, Les Misérables.
This special night would not have been possible without the incredible support of 60 Eastridge High School student volunteers who generously gave their time to help serve dinner, escort and seat guests, and spend time visiting with our senior citizens. Their kindness, professionalism, and warm smiles helped make the evening truly memorable.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this night possible and to our students who exemplified the very best of our school community. 💙🎭
