Principal's Message

Hello Eagle Parents!

It was a super fun January with snow days and all! Who knows what February will be like weather-wise! I can tell you our Eagles will have just as much fun as they learn this month as they did in January!! Who knows, maybe we will get a little snow action? ☃️ 🛷

NEWS FLASH!!

January 30th/Thursday: new 100th day of school date due to snow days!

(Details in teacher newsletters)

There is a lot on our calendar in the coming weeks---- especially as we prepare for Feb. 13th! This is the Thursday before actual Valentines day. That day is going to be incredibly busy with a morning assembly, class Valentines parties, and our world famous Multicultural Night! Our 2nd graders will be performing Music Around the World as well!! You won't want to miss school on this day!!

Additionally this month, we have a super important Red Cross Blood Drive on Feb. 28th, a Friday, as part of our February Healthy Heart month! (See below to sign up to be part of these great and worthy events!) There is a huge blood shortage, so let's all pitch in and donate! You never know when someone you know and love will need blood and we want it to be there if that ever happens!

Remember to please check your child's grades for each 3 wk Progress Reporting period. As always, if you have any questions about grades, please contact your child(ren)'s teacher.
