News from the Eagles Nest
October 25th
Donation opportunity
Parents often ask 'Mrs. Helt, how can I help? If you need something, let us know!' Those statements are always so nice to receive. In an elementary school with kids who are loving learning, there are always needs to help enhance their lessons for them.
Here are a few things we could use on campus. If you are willing and able, we will gladly take the support of the following.

Soaring Eagles Parent Advisory Council meetings
The Soaring Eagles Parent Advisory Council is an opportunity for parents to come and chat with Mrs. Helt about upcoming events, concerns, ideas, etc to continue to move Clyde Erwin forward. There is typically no set agenda but more of a free flowing conversation about hot topics. Join if you can. Dates will be shared on Dojo as well as in the weekly calendar above.
Tidbits to share from Mrs. Helt
Fall Fiesta
We are very excited for our Fall Fiesta this Friday from 4:30-6:00. You still have time to pay for your cards ($10 for 2 visits to each game/activity) or tickets ($5 for 10 tickets) through SchoolCashOnline. Mrs. Helt will continue to have cards available in the car line for a quick handoff of $10. Refunds will not be given for lost tickets or cards.
As of right now, all activities are planned to be outside within the gated playground. If the weather changes, we will move inside.
Volunteer opportunities
Look at our Eagles doing amazing things!
Family resources and fun things to do
🦅 All items below are for reference and will be included for the entire year 🦅
Car rider line arrival processes
For morning arrival, we will utilize one lane as we have this past year. Cars must stop prior to the last cone and only move forward to the marked spots (big orange cones) once the staff arrive at 7:15 to wave you on. Students will unload from the passanger side of the vehicles and move directly towards the building by the cafe. Parents are not to get out of vehicles at any point.
If you would like to walk them to the building for arrival, you must park in the front of the school and follow the procedures listed below. Parents are not permitted in the building for drop off in the morning from 7:14-7:45.
If you must park to walk to the office during arrival, please pull into the parking spots near the playground fence and walk directly to the office using the breezeway. If you park in the other parking spots, you must walk towards the building nearest the cafe to cross using the crosswalk. This is for arrival and dismissal. We will not delay the car rider process for visitors to campus.
Car rider line dismissal processes
See below for a short presentation with specifics about the car rider process for the afternoon. Mrs. Baker calls for students on the walkie talkie after checking your car rider tag and Mrs. Helt will wave you on to your cone. Students will safely and quickly get to vehicles.
Same parking rules as above for arrival. If you must go to the office during dismissal times, you must either park in the spots nearest the playground fence or park elsewhere and use the crosswalk near the cafeteria. We will not delay the dismissal process for visitors to campus.
Walk up parents - morning drop off and pick up
Parents must park in the marked parking lot and walk to the front of the building. Mrs. Adams will greet you after walking across the cross walk and safely to the gate.
