We look forward to partnering with you as we support all learners in their academic journey. I am confident you will find our staff to be passionate about teaching and learning.
Eagle Awards
Every Friday during Rise and Shine (announcements), one student per classroom is recognized as the Eagle of the Week. This award recognizes students who are working hard to show important life skills such as cooperation, effort, kindness and integrity. Students are also recognized for positive office referrals which are given for being an excellent student. Principal Rachel Eastman calls parents to let them know their child is doing awesome at school. All awardees take a photo in front of the Eagle.
