From the Eagle's Nest

w/ Principal Vaughn

March 2023

Hello there Eagle Families! I can't believe it is March already! As we head into the last 3 months of school, we are focusing on our schoolwide expectations more intentionally. This month's focus is Respect. See photo for more information about how respectful behavior at school and on the bus will be taught, highlighted and celebrated during the month of March.

"Treat others the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given." -Hussein Nishah

Dress Code Reminder

As the weather warms up and we begin to transition into warm weather clothes, please take a moment and review the dress code set forth by Hopkins County Schools Code of Conduct below. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me via Parent Square, phone/email or stop by the office. Thanks! -Principal Vaughn

Are you familiar with our monthly Golden Apple Competitions?

Each month, classes compete to see who can earn the most "High 5s" or "Blue Ribbons." If they reach their goal (or are the 1st class to reach it), they earn a reward & the coveted Golden Apple 🏆 . Goals are set as a grade level and rewards are decided as a class.

✋High 5s are earned through time spent on eSpark Pathways.

🔵Blue Ribbons are earned through time on the Study Island Pathway.

Both of these programs use the students' MAP Testing data to create an individualized learning path of instruction and practice to help students grow in the areas of Reading and Math.

🏡Students work on this during the school day and can do it at home too. 🏫
