Notes from the Nest

On these last days of school for 2022, we enjoyed a school-wide sing-a-long and seeing everyone in pajamas!  

To ensure students take a well-deserved break, no homework will be assigned over Winter Break. Teachers may have assigned long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments should be due immediately following the break.

We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year and wish all of our Eagles a safe, healthy, and wonderful Winter Break!
