Dear Eagle Families,
The 2025–2026 school year is officially underway, and we could not be more proud of our students, families, and staff. The first weeks of school have been filled with excitement, focus, and a strong sense of community. We want to take a moment to thank our parents for ensuring students arrive prepared and ready to learn each day, and to commend our students for their positive attitudes, kindness, and commitment to doing their best. Together, we’ve set the tone for a year full of growth, learning, and success.
We’re thrilled to announce that our Fall Sports Season has officially begun! This year, our student-athletes are representing our school in Flag Football and Girls Volleyball. We’re looking forward to a season filled with teamwork, sportsmanship, and exciting games. Game schedules will be shared soon—let’s pack the stands and cheer our Eagles to victory!
We’re excited to announce that our 21st Century After School Programming will begin on Monday, August 25! This program provides academic support, enrichment activities, and fun opportunities for students to explore new interests in a safe and engaging environment. Details on schedules, clubs, and sign-up procedures will be sent home soon.
The start of a school year sets the tone for everything that follows, and thanks to the partnership between our families, students, and staff, we are starting strong. Parents, your support—whether it’s helping with homework, ensuring students get to school on time, or cheering from the sidelines—makes a world of difference. Students, your eagerness to learn, respect for one another, and willingness to work hard are already making this year special.
Let’s keep the momentum going in the classroom, on the field, and beyond!
Go Eagles! 🦅
