It's been a great week at the Nest! We had our first Eagles to Men program, our musical cast attended a play, Charlotte's Web, at SkyPac, our 6th graders got to visit and tour the Impact Center and learned about the application process, our students who raised $300 or more for our Color Run got to attend the field trip sponsored by PTO, and we had our second Club Day.
On October 30th, we will have our fall parties. If you have logged in with our Raptor system, you can pre-register using this link. This link will close on Wednesday, October 28th at 12:00 to ensure we have time to print out all of the name tags. Students are allowed to dress up for Halloween as long as their costumes are school appropriate, and they cannot bring any toy weapons. If you are sending in treats, please remember that we need snacks to be in pre-packaged items and that bakery items are in the original container with a food label. This helps us keep all of our eagles safe, especially those with food allergies. Teachers will have a sign out sheet in the classroom-if you choose to sign your kid out, please exit out the main doors so that staff can collect your name badge. This will not count against you for tardies or absences.
In October, we have been focusing on Habit #2: Begin with the End in Mind. This habit is definitely one that we try to instill in our eagles because it's always important for them to set goals, work towards those goals, and celebrate when those goals are met. Ask your child about the goals they have set and track in their leadership portfolios.
As we wrap up our focus on Habit #2, remember that beginning with the end in mind means deciding what you want to accomplish and making choices that help you get there. This habit helps our Eagles become goal-setters, problem-solvers, and responsible leaders!
🏠 Try this at home:
Make a family goal: Choose something fun to work toward together, such as a family game night, and talk about what needs to happen first.
Think ahead: Before a big test, ask your child what they can do each day to feel prepared.
Reflect and grow: At the end of the day, ask, “Did your choices today help you reach your goal? What could you do tomorrow?”
💙 Family Challenge: Have your child name one goal they want to accomplish before the end of the school year and share one small step they can take this week to get closer to it.
Remember, Eagles, success doesn't happen by accident. Picture your goal, make a plan, and take the first step! 🦅
November 2nd, is our district PLC Day (students do not come to school that day) and our parent/teachers conferences. Teachers should have already been reaching out to schedule times for you to come in on this day. If not, please reach out to them to schedule a time to come meet with your child's teacher(s) to learn all the great things your eagle is doing, but also growth areas to help them continue to have a successful school year. We also do not have school the following day, November 3rd, because of it being Election Day.
Warren East High School's music department wanted me to share this wonderful opportunity.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for being an integral part of our school community and your child's education!

Our goal this year is to have 96% daily student attendance. With that said, teachers and the front office will be reaching out more often to check on your children if they are absent. Official letters will be sent home if a student has three, six, or ten unexcused absences. If a student reaches six or ten unexcused absences, then our truancy officer will be contacted. Parents get five parent notes. If your child misses school, please provide a parent note or doctor's excuse within five school days of the absence. Also, please take note of our new truancy law for this school year. You may click here to read more about it.
