Make A Donation to Purchase Chromebooks Posted On: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 EEF Logo

Virtual learning is a reality for Elizabethtown Independent School (EIS)’s 2,400+ students; however, access to adequate technology remains an issue. Ideally, EIS would be 1:1 – meaning each student in the district has an assigned Chromebook for day-to-day learning, assessments and communication.

A 1:1 district is even more important as we face educating our students in the midst of a pandemic. Elizabethtown Education Foundation (EEF), in conjunction with local non-profit organization, Give 270, will be raising funds to purchase the 150+ outstanding Chromebooks for EIS students.

Please consider supporting EIS students and their learning by making a tax-deductible donation below, you will support Elizabethtown Education Foundation and help purchase Chromebooks for Elizabethtown Independent School (EIS) students.

How you can help?

  • Donate at give270.org/chromebooks if you are able.
  • Forward this email to friends and family. Share the video about the effort. Tell everyone you know.
  • Encourage and thank an EIS teacher, administrator and staff member as they embark on the new school year.

Instructional Information

We believe that it is our number one priority to ensure that every child is learning at his or her highest level. At each grade level, we apply best practice instruction and assessment to engage students in a meaningful and purposeful curriculum. A time period is set aside each day for implementation of the school's "Building Block" in which time is dedicated to providing Reading enrichment or intervention for each student. Other examples include differentiated instruction, readers' and writers' workshops, hands-on investigations and cooperative learning. Each day, visitors will see students writing, reading, exploring, experimenting, creating and performing. Each student also participates in music, visual arts and physical education instruction and activities. Gifted and Talented services, Reading Coaches, Reading Specialists and a Math Interventionist provide individualized instruction to ensure that each child will grow in all areas of his/her education.
