The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award today for demonstrating the Eagle Way the past week. Congratulations to Ms. Alex’s Pre-primary class and Ms. Wilganowski’s fifth grade class!
Extended Absences
As it is close to a holiday, it may be tempting to take an extra day or two off with the kids, however we would like to remind all families of the importance of students being at school. Our program depends on students being in class for differentiated instruction. When students are away, they miss important instruction that can not be delivered through worksheets. Below is the note from the Lower School Student/Parent Handbook about such absences:

Below is the note from the Lower School Student/Parent Handbook about such absences:
When a family must take a student away from school for an extended period, prior notice equal to the anticipated time away must be given to the School office and the student’s teachers. In most circumstances, effort will be made to provide students with work that might be accomplished outside of school. Lengthy absences (more than three days) should be reported to the Assistant Principal, who will help the student work out a makeup plan that is fair to the student and teachers. The school cannot take responsibility for diminished achievement resulting from a student’s absence. Teachers and administrators are unanimous in recommending that, whenever possible, trips and home leave be planned to coincide with school holidays. The student is responsible for making up all missed work.
Happy Carnaval
Next week we will break for Carnaval (there will be no school from March 4 to 8). We hope your family has an enjoyable time together during this festive holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday, March 11.
