The Galloping Gazette

We had a great turn-out at our annual Skate Night. A huge thank you to the Eagle Hills PTO for making this a fun filled event!

Student Council's Diaper Drive was a huge success! Thank you for joining Eagle Hills Elementary's Student Council in supporting the Idaho Diaper Bank by donating needed baby diapers. Eagle Hills reached our goal and collected over 5,000 diapers! Ms. Johnson's classroom received the most donations and will be awarded a Licorice Party! And I fulfilled my obligation to show up as a baby, diaper and all. Thank you again for helping our community band together to ensure that every baby has their basic needs met!

Parker Portraits will be available to take pictures beginning at 9:30 am. For retakes at no cost, the students must return their original picture packet to the photographer at the time of retakes. If you purchased a digital download, please send a note with your student, or a receipt, letting the photographer know. Parker Portraits will then resend the download with their retake picture.

If a student is taking a make-up picture, due to missing the original picture day or due to being a new to Eagle Hills, the photographer will give the student a paper that day with instructions on how to place a picture order.

This will be a quick morning of picture taking. Parker Portraits may only be on site for an hour to, two hours max. If your student is unavailable for pictures, please contact Parker Portraits at 208-345-0807 to make alternate arrangements.

Eagle Hills Special Education will be holding their annual Candy Cane Fundraiser this December. This fundraiser helps support the needs of the SPED students by providing funds for program supplies. Such needed supplies include sensory items for child development, flexible seating, reinforcers, books, and learning materials for each students' unique needs. Your support in this fundraiser is greatly appreciated and makes an extreme impact for those students in the program.

The cost will be $.50 for 1 candy cane or $1.00 for 3 candy canes. Several flavor options will be available. Cost and detailed information will be included on the Candy Cane Order Form. The order forms will be available and sent home with students on Monday, December 9th. Completed forms are due back on Friday, December 13th. Forms can be turned into the front office or to the student's classroom teacher. Candy Canes will be distributed to the students on Wednesday, December 18th.

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Our Lost and Found is located in the front of the school each day. If you think you are missing something, please come by and look through our growing selection. If your student's name is located on a Lost and Found item, we will return the item to the student.

Current items will remain in the Lost and Found until Thanksgiving Break. After that, uncollected items will be donated to local charities.

Timely school attendance is one of the greatest factors in determining student academic success. With this in mind, please make every effort to have your student(s) here on time when school is in session. Eagle Hills teachers are very intentional with their lesson planning and delivery. Every absence impacts your child's learning and the learning of others in his/her class.

We realize that there are times when students need to be absent for a variety of reasons. If your child will be absent from school, please communicate with your child's teacher AND the office. The office may be reached at eaglehillses@westada.org or 208.350.4090.

All parents and family members who wish to volunteer at Eagle Hills for any reason must submit a volunteer application form and corresponding documents to our school office. If you are interested in volunteering this year, please take time to read, print, sign and return the documents listed below to the school office. You may also find hard copies of these documents here at Eagle Hills.

We have limited computers to loan out to students who leave their devices at home. Often students who forget their computers have to go a day without access to important lesson materials. Please make checking backpacks for computers and chargers a part of your morning and/or evening routine each day.

You all are doing a great job with student pick-up after school. Please see below of an updated map of our parking lot and the "flow" for parent parking.
