Eagleville Express Family News

Hello and welcome to 2025!

So great to see the students back this week! Although the break was a fine chance to relax and spend time with family and friends, I truly missed seeing the students (as I am sure the staff would agree) on a day-to-day basis, learning and playing together. As we start a new year, it's a good chance to reflect and appreciate all that has been accomplished by our students, with thoughtful guidance and encouragement from our teachers, and supported and strengthened by our families in endless ways. I can't believe we are approaching the halfway point for the school year, and I am excited for the chance for each and every student to grow beyond what they thought was possible.

Sincerely,

Mr. Plant

It's been a great year so far with students earning "Eagleville High Flyer" awards. For the months of September through December, 47 different students have received an award from a staff member for a variety of reasons - being a leader, for going above and beyond to help someone in need, or consistently being kind, cooperative, and responsible. I am confident that each of our students has it in them to earn at least one, if not multiple "High Flyers" this school year. Rather than focusing on what kids "can't do" this, along with the use of our Talon Tickets, is a great way of catching kids doing good and reinforcing all the positive interactions that add to the Eagleville culture.

Recently, two Eagleville staff members have been recognized for their dedication and contributions to Eagleville and the greater community. In December, Administrative Assistant Cindy Schwichtenberg was honored as the Mukwonago Area School District Employee of the Month, and ChrisAnn Wills, Eagleville Special Education Teacher, was honored as the Mukwonago Rotary Teacher of the Month. Congrats and thank you for all you do!

Winter days are at hand, and we ask parents to see that their children are dressed as warmly as possible prior to their leaving for school. This includes a warm coat, hat, gloves or mittens, and boots. If a child will be leaving the blacktop area at recess when there is snow on the ground, snow pants and boots are required. Please remember to label all winter dress items with your child’s name. Additionally, we recommend that parents pack extra socks, gloves &/or mittens in your child’s backpack for the winter months.

Students will be going outside unless air temperature or wind chill drop below 0.

Safety is of utmost importance with the drop-off and pick-up process at Eagleville. Please review the time frame and procedures to ensure each day goes as smoothly as possible. Thank you!

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Vision and hearing screens will take place at Eagleville Elementary School on Wednesday, January 8th, 2025. Kindergarten and first graders will receive vision and hearing screenings, and kindergarten, third and fifth graders will receive vision screening.

Your child will receive a copy of the screening results. The form will indicate if no further evaluation is needed or if follow up is recommended with a Physician, Optometrist, or Audiologist for further evaluation. Results will be documented in your child’s school health record and available to parent/guardian upon request.

If you have a student that is not scheduled to be screened and you feel your child would benefit from a vision or hearing screen, please contact your child’s school health assistant to request a vision or hearing screen for your child. If you would not like your child screened, also contact your child’s school health assistant.

Thank you,

Noel Menghe BSN, RN

Mukwonago Area School District Nurse
