Yesterday we welcomed former Mount Eagle students who just graduated from Edison High School. We celebrated their accomplishments, learned about their plans and heard some words of advice from them. (Those are pictures of them when they were students here!)
What's Happening at Mount Eagle
June 7, 2024
Finishing Strong!
Instruction is continuing at high levels through next week. Students are reflecting on all the learning they've done, and teachers have been meeting to celebrate all the growth we're seeing in our end of year assessments. While all testing results have not been finalized, we have seen excellent growth in our students. Please check the article below about how to access assessment results.
On Tuesday, we will celebrate our Grade 6 students at their Promotion Ceremony beginning at 10am. It's a bittersweet moment as we recognize their many accomplishments and send them off to middle school. Then on Wednesday, we will have our final All School Meeting for the year.
The PTO will meet in the library at 8:40am. Stop by to celebrate a great year and make plans for how to make next year even better!
Dismissal will be at 1:30pm. Thank you for being partners with us in your child's education. It has been an honor to work with you.
