K-5 Elementary Transition
Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, all four Eastpointe Community Schools elementary schools will serve students in kindergarten through 5th grade. This change comes from feedback from our families about the challenges of having young children split across different schools.
With this shift, families with multiple elementary-aged children may have them all at the same school for the first time, making transportation easier and creating stronger neighborhood connections. Over the coming months, we’ll share updates on school assignments, transportation, and opportunities to connect with school staff.
The majority of students will remain at their current school, return to the school where they attended grades K-2, or shift to the school where they expected to attend grades 3-5.
