The Eagle's Nest

Hello Walsh Families!

If you are driving your child to school, please use our drop off lane on 57th Street. You will pull up and a staff member will open your car door for students. If you walk your child to school, drop off is in the back of the building on the blacktop. Staff will be there to assist children getting into their line.

All students should be at school by 7:45 AM (8:45 AM on Wednesday), as the bell rings to enter the building at 7:50 AM (8:50 AM on Wednesdays). Tardy students should enter Door 1 and check in at the main office. If your child is late, please enter the office with your child.

Please help us to get your child here on time for school!

We are so excited to see our students and get this year started. Please reach out to us or our awesome office staff if you have questions.

See you soon!
