The Eagle's Nest
Week of September 24, 2023
Happy Fall Eagle Families!
Back to School Night is on Thursday, September 28 from 4:30pm-6:10pm. Each grade level will have three sessions available for parents to attend. This night is designed to focus on curriculum. Please come take flight with us to learn what students are working on in their classes, homework expectations, grading, and to sign up for the first parent conference of the year.
Our teachers are in need of classroom snacks. We request that they be individual snacks that do not require a spoon or contain peanuts or peanut butter. For our late arrivals that missed breakfast we need donations of Frosted Strawberry Pop-tarts or Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-tarts (favorite flavors of our Eagles). Drop them off at our donation table at Back-To- School Curriculum Night and pick up a coupon for 10 DOJO Points to use any month during the year.
Students will be taking home interim reports on Thursday, September 28. Interim reports are much like report cards, except the grades they include are NOT final grades. They simply provide parents and students with an idea of how the student is progressing in each content area at mid point. This information allows students to see what they need to work on before the end of the grading period which is October 31. Please take time to discuss your child's interim report with them and help them set goals. Together we can help them SOAR!
We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. Students will be listening to Latin music and learning important facts about the countries of Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Honduras, Peru, and Paraguay. Please ask your child what they have learned this week.
This month we focused on "Respect". Students will be nominated by their peers to be the Eagle of the Month. Parents will then be invited to attend a breakfast at Clyde Erwin with their child and see them recognized for this achievement. Invitations will go home early October and our first breakfast will be held on October 13th at 8am in the cafeteria.
We have six important reminders for you this week:
1.Federal cards will go home on Tuesday, September 26th. Please return the federal cards as soon as possible. The first class to turn in all Federal Cards completed correctly will win a pizza party.
2. Thursday, September 28th is Back to School Night from 4:30pm-6:10pm. Please see the boarding pass/flyer with sessions times in the SMORE.

4. Friday, September 29 is our PBIS celebration for all EAGLES earning 100 points.
5. If your student is a car rider you must arrive before the tardy bell at 7:45am. If you arrive after this time, you will be directed to park and walk your child to the door to sign in with Mrs. Berry. Students cannot be left at the back door. If your child arrives to school after the tardy bell, parents must also walk them to the door to sign in. Parents that are not present to sign their student in will be called to come back to the school. Thank you for working with us to keep your child safe.
