Congratulations to this week’s “Golden G” class winner who was recognized at this morning’s Nest assembly for working together and following The Eagle Way:  Ms. Arcenas’s fourth grade class

Graded and PTA Volunteer Recognition Breakfast

Volunteers, please join us on Wednesday between 8:00 and 9:30 am in the Student Center. We are looking forward to expressing our thanks for the support you have given at school.

Upcoming Transitions and Supporting Your Child

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, students will be facing a transition whether it be to the next grade, to a new school, or to a new country. These changes can be the cause of much excitement, but also some anxiety. Here is an article from Edutopia that offers some tips on how you can support your child with changing grade levels. And if your family will be leaving Graded, take some time to browse through the resources offered from expatchild.com, and The Spruce. Books can also be a great tool to use to help begin a conversation about feelings your child may have regarding the move. Please click HERE for a list of books that might be helpful.
