We are excited to welcome our students and families to this school year. This newsletter is more of a 'Top 5 things to Know & Do to Prepare for the Year'. Families may continue to monitor the school's website and facebook page for information as we transition platforms.

Volunteer training must be completed EVERY year for Level I -- this means you want to come in to the school and support students and staff! Please click the shared link and review the NHCS Volunteer Orientation and complete the Volunteer Orientation Assessment. This is Level I volunteering!

Level II: This is required every three (3) years -- this means you want to attend a field trip! This requires an application, background check and approval at district level.

Forms to Download and return to Eaton if you have a Kindergarten, 1st Grade or 2nd Grade Student that will be riding the bus home:

• Bus Stop Drop-Off Permission Form 2025-2026 EnglishPDF

• Bus Stop Drop-Off Permission Form 2025-2026 SpanishPDF

• Special Education Afternoon Release Consent Form 2025-2026

If you had a regular route last year, then you are on a route to start the new year. These forms are required every year. If your child needs to ride the bus to and/or from school for the 2025-2026 school year, please contact Amy Wooten. This process may take up to two (2) weeks to process and secure a route and will not be available the first days of school.

This is an incredible app that helps parents track their child's bus so that accuracy of bus arrival times can support on-time pick up for students. Your child's teacher can provide the required student information to set this up.

For those who will use our car drop off and pick up line, please review the shared map so that all of our stakeholders can remain safe. Our line is long and your patience is greatly appreciated.
