Weekly Eagle News

Dear Eagles,

It has been great to be with our students for the first two days of school! We’ve spent the last 2 days engaging students in conversations regarding our Core Values and Eagle Expectations, which we’ve implemented to create a more safe environment that’s conducive to learning. Please talk with your student(s) at home to help reinforce these concepts.

Also, here are a few reminders to help the school year go smoothly:

• The Office will not accept food deliveries. All food deliveries must be done during lunch ONLY and must be picked up in person by the student. All students are able to get food from the cafeteria for free at break and lunch.

• If you haven’t done so already, please log into Homelink and complete the data confirmation process.

• Please encourage your student to get to class on time.

• Please remind your student to bring their chromebook to school each day fully charged.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Looking forward to a great school year with your students,

Go Eagles!

August 22, 1963: First person to go to space twice. The record was set by Joseph A. Walker, a United States Air Force Captain, and a fighter pilot while flying the X-15, an experimental hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft. The X-15 was a joint venture between the US Air Force and NASA. Not only did Walker become the first person to enter space twice, he also was the first person to take a spaceflight to an altitude of 67 miles (108 kilometers) in the 12-minute long flight. SOURCE
