Due to our construction, we will only be able to utilize the current elementary office as our new main office, for our entry and exit. With that in mind, all students, PK-12, will be on the 7:40-2:40 schedule. All enrolled students should be receiving a packet in the mail within the next few days. Included in each packet will be our narrative and map detailing this school year's logistics plan for arrivals and dismissals, your student's scheduled bus pick up and drop off time (if assigned to a bus), available dates to come visit your student's building and our new phone extension directory that will be going into effect. All student parking will now be in the lower (south) lot, which used to be a t-ball field. Just an addition reminder that all student forms will be completed online this year. Students will be bringing home instructions to assist in completing these forms on the first day of school that can be found on our district website https://www.eaglepride.net/page/forms. They are marked as Yearly Student Forms: Grades K-5 Yearly Student Forms and Grades 6-12 Yearly Student Forms. All School forms are to be completed online by September 8, 2023. We hope that you all have been able to enjoy your summer break. We look forward to seeing everyone on the first day of school, August 28th.
