Partnering together for every Eagle
You know your child best, and we see them learn and grow every day. When we work together, children thrive. Please reach out to your child's teacher as things come up, not just when something goes wrong:
-
Celebrations: Tell us about a proud moment, a new milestone, or something your child loved. We want to cheer with you!
-
Questions: Wondering about homework, a grade, or something your child mentioned? Just ask. Small questions are always welcome.
-
Concerns: If something doesn't feel right, let us know early. Children often share one piece of a situation, and that matters. When we talk together, we can see the full picture and solve the problem as a team.
Where to start: Your child's teacher is your first and best contact, by ParentSquare message or email. If you need more support after that, our counselor, SEL Dean, or I am glad to join the conversation. We will respond within 1-2 school days during school hours. For anything urgent or about safety, please call the front office right away.
We promise to listen, assume the best, and keep your child at the center. We ask the same of you. Thank you for partnering with us!
Thank you for sharing your children with us. Go Eagles!

Notes from the Nest
Recess is an important part of the school day, giving students a chance to move their bodies, connect with friends, and reset. It can also bring big emotions and lots of sensory input—especially when students are cold, wet, or uncomfortable.
As we head into cooler and wetter weather, having the right clothing can make a big difference in helping students stay comfortable, regulated, and ready to return to learning after recess.
Families can help by:
Sending a weather-appropriate coat or jacket each day. Reminding students to grab their coat before heading outside and bring it back inside after recess. Keeping an extra change of clothes and socks at school when possible—wet socks can make for a very long school day! Consider an extra pair of shoes if your child tends to love puddles! Labeling coats, sweatshirts, and other belongings with your child's name. Encouraging your child to check the Lost & Found regularly for any missing coats, sweatshirts, water bottles, or other belongings.
Our Lost & Found fills up quickly this time of year! If something has gone missing, please remind your child to take a look.
Being warm, dry, and comfortable helps students regulate their bodies, navigate peer interactions, and transition back into the classroom ready to learn. Thank you for helping our Eagles come prepared for whatever Washington weather brings!

Counselor Corner: Bullying Prevention
This month, our 3rd–5th graders will be reviewing our Second Step Bullying Prevention curriculum. We’ll be talking about the difference between a conflict, a mean or rude moment, and bullying, and practicing what students can do when they experience or see an unkind or hurtful situation.
Students will revisit the STOP • WALK • TALK strategy:
STOP: Use a strong, respectful voice to tell someone to stop. WALK AWAY: Move away from the problem when possible. TALK: Tell a trusted adult when help is needed.
We will also connect bullying prevention to our KLE expectations of being Safe, Kind, and Respectful—keeping hands, feet, and objects to ourselves, including others, using words that help rather than hurt, and solving disagreements calmly.
Our goal is more than simply preventing bullying. We want every Eagle to help create a school community where everyone feels safe, included, respected, and ready to learn and play.
