Family Learning Activities

Every year we hold learning activities voted on and chosen by East family members. These activities help participants support scholar growth and development and make connections to improve the school community.

All activities are held virtually every month after the Family and Community Engagement (FACE) meeting. FACE is from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. (see the year's schedule here) and the Learning Activity is from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. Each participating parent will receive a certificate of completion in the mail and will be recognized at a year-end Family and Community Engagement (FACE) celebration.

If you want to help plan these activities, contact East's Home-School Assistant, Angel Alicea, at Angel.Alicea1@rcsdk12.org or (585) 288-3130 ext. 1001.
