EAGLE SOAR
SEPTEMBER 11, 2020
VANWAGNEN NEWS
Today, we reflect, honor and commemorate the anniversary of September 11th, 2001. We honor those, such as fire fighters, police officers, doctors, teachers and even everyday people who risked their lives to help others. Today, we celebrate America's resilience, ability to work together, help one another, and commit to respecting all people.
Today, we celebrate the kindness of our community. I am proud to live in an area that supports each other and our school. Recently, we received donations for gift cards, playground equipment and wagons, and I am both thankful and grateful for the outpouring of support. It means the world to our friends at CUES!

STUDENT DROP-OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES
SAFETY is our top priority during arrival and dismissal times. Please take note of a few important items that will keep our children safe as they enter and exit our buildings.
- If you transport your own child, please have them enter and exit your vehicle from the right lane in front of the school building. You may also pick up and drop off by parking in the lot at the west end of the CUES building. Please do not park in the middle lot (located between the buildings).
- Students are NEVER allowed to cross traffic to and from the middle lot before or after school. They must utilize the pickup and drop-off lane or the west parking lot.
- If you are picking your child up from school prior to dismissal, please come to the Sign In/Sign Out window on the porch to sign your child out.
- If your child has a change in after school transportation, please contact the office by 2 pm.
