 Students in Ms. Cabrera's Grade 2 class enjoy a story on the first day of school.
Welcome Back to School!
It was a fabulous first week of school here at Mount Eagle! Everywhere in the building, you can hear the buzz of busy students creating and talking together. They are already making new friends, learning important routines and procedures, and showing what they know.
These first weeks of school, teachers will devote lots of time to ensuring students are set up for success. They will teach how students will move around the classroom and how they will interact with each other. Students will have time to get to know their classmates, share about themselves, and to build their classroom communities. This is important work, because strong classroom communities support the rigorous academic work they will engage in together throughout the year.
Back-to-School Night is August 28
We are excited to welcome you to our Back-to-School Night on August 28th! PTO will have food for sale, and then teachers will present in classrooms. Come hear about what your children will be learning this year, see the space where you child is learning, and connect with other parents!
