Why Should You Attend Eiber Elementary?
Mission and Vision
Eiber's mission is to provide a quality education that prepares all children for a successful future. To succeed, we acknowledge that we must place high value on academics, community, school improvement, and shared leadership.
George E. Eiber Elementary Serves a Diverse Community
With a mobility rate of 44%, many Eiber families move in and out of our attendance area over the course of the school year. Others stay with us Kindergarten through 5th grade. In the past 3 years Eiber has added 2 Preschool classrooms. One classroom is for native Spanish speakers and the other is for English.
Approximately 28% of our students have a language background other than English. 90% of those students speak Spanish as their first language. We are proud to provide a one-way Dual Language program for native Spanish speakers.
Eiber receives additional funding from the Federal Title I Program. According to recent numbers, approximately 82% students qualify for additional support with fees.
Parent Resources
We know parents work hard to give their children every opportunity they can. We also recognize that families can find themselves in struggling circumstances. Eiber seeks to support families in need by connecting them with district, county, state, and non-profit resources and information. In order to support this work, Eiber is fortunate to have a Family Engagement Liaison to assist families with a variety of needs that may arise, as well as supporting parents’ understanding of school processes and structures, which allows them to become more involved.
Shared Leadership
At Eiber, we believe leadership is a responsibility shared between stakeholders. Only by working together can we ensure the success of our students.
Success in Sight
Through a school improvement process known as Success in Sight, staff at Eiber works collaboratively to implement additional school improvement initiatives. Many are aimed at refining our instructional practices, using data to drive our instruction, and reaching out to our community. In January 2012, Eiber's school improvement efforts were highlighted in the journal Educational Leadership.
