Good evening, Eagle families. This is your principal, Ms. Palmer, with updates for January 6th through January 10th.
Report cards will go home with students tomorrow, Monday, January 6th. This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate their achievements and set new goals for the coming months.
We also encourage you to connect with your child’s teacher to discuss their progress and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Middle of the year (MOY) testing will begin this week for K-5 students in mClass and iReady and end at the end of the month. The information gained from these assessments allows our teachers to find ways to continue to support your child.
On January 23rd, our 3-5 grade students are invited to the Winter Wonderland dance. An order form will be coming home tomorrow. Order forms and money are due by January 15th.
As always, the safety of our students is our top priority. Please review the morning drop-off procedures. We ask that you do not let students out of cars until a staff member is present to assist with unloading vehicles. While pulling around other cars, please drive slowly if any students exit from the driver's side.
We hope you and your family had a wonderful winter break filled with joy and relaxation. We’re excited to welcome our students back to school as we begin this new year! Soar high, Eagles!
