Hello Eagle Families,

We are excited to be entering quarter two of the 24.25 school year. The first quarter flew by! It was terrific to watch classroom communities form, to see students engaged in reaching their goals, and our Eagles S.O.A.R. in all areas of our school!

Concert season is nearly upon us! We look forward to seeing many of you on November 18th for the 4th and 5th-grade concert and school-wide Art Show. It is such a wonderful experience to see our students showcase their growth and talent as artists and performers!

This is also the time of year when we promote open-enrollment for new families for the next school year. EFA+ works hard to share our story and time and time again, our current families are our best promoters. The video below is a great way to learn more about the EFA+ Experience and is also something you can feel free to share to potential new families for next school year. Open-enrollment for new families will open on December 1st. Thank you for your continued support at Eugene Field A+!

Kindest regards,

Mr. Mees, Principal

These funds will cover the PTA budget for this year while also offering funding for additional needs or training moving forward. As a result of exceeding our fundraising goal, students earned a special assembly featuring a visit from Peaches, a Highland Calf from Glean for Good.
