Welcome Military Families!

East Bay K-8 school realizes that changing duty stations can be stressful. We promise to do everything in our power to help our new military students become familiar and comfortable with our school during their time at EBK-8. East Bay K-8 was recently recognized as a Purple Star Campus. In 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law the Purple Star Campuses legislation, recognizing K-12 schools that provide identified support for the military child's transition and relocation within Florida. This program aims to help students as they relocate to new schools due to a parents change in duty station. We are here to make the transition as smooth as possible for our military families. Please use the contacts below for any questions you may have.

East Bay K-8 School reserves at least 5% of open enrollment seat for military students as defined in Section 1002.31, F.S. For information regarding open enrollment, please visit https://santarosaschools.org/en-US/school-choice-transfer-request.
