Week of 3.9.26

Message From Leadership

Hello Eagle Families,

We have a whirlwind of activities as we approach the final days of the third quarter! This is a pivotal week for our students to finalize their work, celebrate their growth, and prepare for a well-deserved rest.

This Friday, we will be hosting our next ACR. This celebration is dedicated to students who have demonstrated consistent academic effort and positive behavioral choices throughout Quarter 3. We are so proud of the hard work these students have put in, and we look forward to recognizing their achievements!

Important Dates:
  • Friday, March 13th: End of Quarter 3; Attendance this week is vital as we wrap up units and prepare for the final quarter.
  • March 16th – 20th: Spring Break. Please enjoy the week and be safe!
  • Monday, March 23rd: Teacher Work Day (No school for students). Our staff will be on campus preparing for Quarter 4, and we look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, March 24th.

Please also keep an eye on our school calendar as we have many after school activities and events this week as well. 

As we head into Quarter 4, our mission remains clear: academic focus, student engagement, and accountability. The final testing period is closely approaching, so we want to ensure that every student is ready to showcase their academic growth and achievement. Please continue to prioritize attendance and coming to school prepared to effectively learn. Spring Break is the perfect time to "reset" so that we can return with the energy needed to finish the school year on a high note.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Have an amazing week!

-Mrs. Sanford
