F.A March Elementary School and Shawnee Elementary School (formerly Paxinosa Elementary) have now been completely renovated. To renovate both F.A. March Elementary School and Shawnee Elementary School, both school buildings moved to the former Easton Area Middle School 5/6 building in the 2008-2009 school year. Shawnee Elementary School was opened in the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, adding another elementary school in the EASD. Paxinosa Elementary School remains at the former location of the Easton Area Middle School 5/6 building, creating a neighborhood elementary school within the West Ward of Easton. In the 2009- 2010 school year, F.A. March School's students and staff members returned to their former location on College Hill after renovations were completed, thus departing from the former EAMS 5/6 building.
At the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year, the Easton Area Middle School (EAMS) Campus was completed for grades five through eight. The EAMS Campus is separated into a fifth and sixth grade portion (EAMS 5/6) and a seventh and eighth grade portion (EAMS 7/8). Both EAMS 5/6 and EAMS 7/8 share separate facilities and have their own addresses. The EAMS Campus is located at the former site of Shawnee Middle School. Shawnee Middle School was renamed Easton Area Middle School Campus Grades 7/8 (EAMS 7/8) in 2008-2009.
