Eustace Primary School
Welcome!!
We are excited for the 2026-2027 school year! The staff has been working hard to prepare for the students to come and experience an amazing year!
This year our theme is "See the good. Show the PRIDE!" We will strive to show Patience, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence each day.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION
Morning Drop Off
1. Parents are not allowed to walk their students in the building. We encourage everyone to go through the car drop off line and take a picture there! After the first day, everyone must go through the car line so it is great for your child to do it on the first day.
2. Doors open at the Primary at 7:10 am and the tardy bell rings at 7:30 am. The line will be long on the first day so we will not be closing the doors right at 7:30. Expect delays.
3. Traffic is crazy the first week of school! Please allow extra time, be courteous and be patient in the morning and afternoon.
4. Morning drop off - (see map) - There are only two lines in the morning. Do not begin the second line in the parking lot. It begins in the road and then you may pull up at 7:10 so staff can park. There is not a specific line you must get in for the morning drop off line, however, we do prefer that our younger students do come through the lane closest to the building so they can get the most help.
5. Do not block the corner in front of the Intermediate School. This needs to remain clear at all times for staff and emergency vehicles to get through. If you park there, you will be asked to drive around and rejoin the line at the end.
Afternoon Pick Up
Please note that Henderson is ONE way from 3:00 - 3:45 this year. Do not turn left out of the Primary parking lot until 3:45 pm.

🍎 Principal's Corner
Welcome Back, Eustace Primary Families!
Welcome to a brand-new school year! I hope you and your family have had a wonderful summer filled with fun, laughter, and special memories. While summer is a wonderful time to slow down, take a break, and enjoy our families, I have to admit—we start getting pretty anxious to have our Bulldogs back in the building!
There is just something special about the first day of school. The excitement in the hallways, the smiles on students' faces, the sound of little voices filling our classrooms, and the anticipation of all the learning and memories that are ahead make this time of year so special.
I am incredibly excited to begin my fourth year as the principal of Eustace Primary School! These past three years have been such a blessing, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve your children and families. Every year brings new opportunities, new challenges, and new reasons to be proud of our school—and I truly believe this is going to be our best year yet!
At Eustace Primary, we believe that every child matters. When your child walks through our doors, we want them to feel safe, loved, valued, and excited to learn. Our teachers and staff don't just care about your children—we love them like they are our own. We celebrate their successes, encourage them when things are difficult, and work every day to help them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our theme this year is:
See the Good. Show the PRIDE!
We want our Bulldogs to learn to look for the good in others, recognize the good around them, and make choices that allow them to show their Bulldog PRIDE—Patience, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence.
Families, thank you for trusting us with your most precious gifts. We don't take that responsibility lightly. We are honored to partner with you as your children grow, learn, and discover all that they are capable of becoming.
So, enjoy these last few days of summer—but know that your Eustace Primary family is counting down the days until we see those smiling faces again!
Let's make this a year filled with learning, laughter, kindness, growth, and lots of Bulldog PRIDE!
See the Good. Show the PRIDE!
Get that Bulldog Pride,
Misti Sanders
