Great 1st Day!
Hello Eagle Lake Families,
We had a wonderful first day of school! It was fantastic to see the building filled with the energy and excitement of our students again.
I had the chance to observe students learning new routines, getting to know their classmates, and having fun both inside and outside the building. (And the beautiful weather for recess looks like it will continue all week!)
Please take a moment to read through this newsletter for a couple of important updates. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Eagle Lake office.

Portraits may be ordered online at strawbridge.net. Use code: FM473754 when you place your order to indicate your child is an Eagle Lake student.
Snack Cart
It's not too late to sign your child up for Snack Cart! The fee is $70 per child for the entire year. Payment can be made through your parent portal. Use this link for payment instructions: Step by Step Instructions to Pay for Snack Cart - Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
Every student will have the option to take an item from the snack cart for the first 3 days of school. Then starting Tuesday, September 2, only registered students will receive an item from our snack cart.
Donations to sponsor a child in need are appreciated and can be selected in the parent portal as well. Yearly, we have around 60 students in need of a sponsored snack. Thank you in advance for your support if you are able.
Eagle Lake Apparel
Next week, your child will bring home an order form for Eagle Lake Elementary apparel. (Please note it is optional for families to order.) The order form AND payment (payable to Harbor Hill Graphics, LLC) must be returned to school by September 30, 2025.
