Eagle Express Newsletter September

Welcome back! Things You Should Know:
Learning. Each new school year is a chance for students to grow – not just in their schoolwork, but in all parts of life. We want every child to learn and be healthy, kind, responsible, and ready to help others.
We’re so glad your family is part of our school! We are excited to work together with you and your child. As a Leader in Me School, we believe that everyone in your family has greatness, and we look forward to learning and growing with you. Leader in Me is based on research and was created as a way to give students the leadership and life skills they need to succeed today and in the future.

Through the 7 Habits lessons, each child becomes their best self and finds their voice. As each child discovers their unique strengths, they are given opportunities to lead, become more confident, responsible, and ready to take action. They also learn to listen to others, work as a team, and help each other do their best. Let’s work together and help every child grow this year!

Attendance. Let’s start strong! September is Attendance Awareness Month. Establish strong routines early: consistent bedtimes, packed bags, and backup plans for getting to school. Learners who are "On
Time, In School, Every Day" build momentum that leads to lifelong success. Strong achievement begins with strong attendance.

Safety. Please do not drop your child off at school before 7:30. The playground is not supervised until then.

~ Thank you for following our drop-off procedures! It is helping drop off time go so much smoother, and we always want our learners and families to be safe. Be sure to use the marked crosswalks to cross lanes of traffic.

~ Remember, parents/guardians are not allowed on the playground during school hours without checking into the office first.

Notifications. Please notify the office before 1:45 pm (12:45 on early release Mondays) if there is an unexpected change to your child’s transportation after school. We will not pull kids off of buses if you do not notify the school on time.
