The Eagles' Nest
From the Principal's Point of View...
OCTOBER 2018
Autumn has "fall"en upon us! Welcome to our first issue of The Eagle’s Nest for the 2018-19 school year! Authored by our principal, Dr. Reddish, this will serve as an important means of communication to keep Eagleville families informed of what is happening at Eagleville School. Enjoy!
Eagleville students completed fall assessments and will start Response to Instruction and Intervention (RtII) tomorrow, October 5th. Check your child's backpack for notification of your child’s tier placement for RtII, which is a homogeneous reading block aimed at improving students’ reading performance.
October is national anti-bullying month. We will have an all-school assembly on Oct. 22nd that focuses on spreading the anti-bullying message. School Counselor, Mrs. Shaw, and I will also capitalize on this fun show by referencing it to reinforce our school expectations to keep one’s hands, feet and objects to himself. Moreover, we will help students understand the definition of bullying and how to respond when others exhibit bullying behaviors. Our goal is to continue to educate our students, so we can make our school safe and enjoyable for everyone.
