Eagle News
Hi Families!
Our school newsletter is posted on the 1st of each month during the regular school year. Inside, you’ll find upcoming dates, important events, and information about school-wide activities, policies, and procedures.
To keep families connected, the newsletter is shared on our school website, Instagram, Facebook, and through Remind. We work hard to make this your go-to source for school information!
The newsletter is updated throughout the month, so be sure to check back often for the latest news and reminders.

Birthday Parties
Occasionally students wish to observe his/her birthday at school. Each teacher has his/her own policy concerning this activity. However, there are some general guidelines we all follow:
· Food treats are permissible, but interruption of the school program should be kept to a minimum.
· Food treats need to be individually wrapped and prepared commercially.
· Please avoid red punch or frosting.
· Please do not provide gum.
· Please do not pass out invitations to private birthday parties at school. We do not want to have any student feel left out, so it is more appropriate to do this privately.
· Please do not send balloons to school.
