Attendance Matters!
Showing up to school greatly impacts a student's academic success. Families play a crucial role in ensuring that a student gets to school safely and on time daily. We understand that absences are unavoidable, such as illness or medical appointments. Please call in advance if your child will not be in school.

February 6th-10th is National School Counselor's Week
Counselor Corner
Hi Little Eagles!
In January I did minute meetings, where I was able to check in with every student K-2 and find out how their year was going. I loved having these quick chats with all our Little Eagles!!
Save the date: Career Day will be Friday, April 28th this year. Forms will go home in February for volunteers who would like to help make Career Day great! (It will be in person this year)
* This month our Character Trait focus is: Kindness *
We will be exploring the importance of showing kindness to ourselves and others.
Defined as: A selfless act when one helps others without expecting anything in return.
~ I will also be visiting all classrooms for a fun lesson on kindness this month!
Please feel free to reach out if you are in need of resources or if there is a way I can support your student or family this year. ashley.phelps@myeagles.org or 517-769-8557.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month!
Lifelong habits begin at home. Make dental health a part of your daily routine by sharing these reminders with your whole family:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, especially after breakfast and before bedtime. Drinking water after eating also helps to clear your teeth of food particles.
- Floss every day. An adult should help children under the age of eight to floss. Older children should be ready to floss on their own.
- Limit the number of times you eat snacks, especially the sticky ones and long lasting ones.
- Visit a dentist regularly for a routine checkup and a cleaning.
- Protect your teeth by wearing a mouth guard when playing sports.
- Don’t forget to change your tooth brush regularly, and after an illness.
Sweet snack facts:
Eating a lot of snacks with sugar may cause cavities.
Every time you eat sugar, plaque in your mouth mixes with the sugar to create acid. The acid hurts the teeth and causes decay over time. This can be painful!
Please reach out if you need help finding a dental home for your family!
Medication Reminder!
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
