Principal’s Corner
Eagle Families,
Students came back this week in person, and virtually, and it was amazing. Children were so aware of the social distancing rules, zombie arms, airplane arms, lunch outside, new recess rules. I am so impressed with your students! Please continue to reinforce these rules at home so we can support the same messaging. Thank you!
