The Eagle's Nest
Volume #50
Spring is almost here! The trees are already starting to bud and I saw my first robin. But wait... now snow? It is typical Illinois weather!
As we dive into the last trimester of school, I hope that you had the opportunity to meet with your child's teacher for conferences. If you were unable to attend on Thursday, please contact the teacher to arrange a time to meet; virtually or in person. It is important that you are aware of your child's strengths, as well as areas for improvement.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Christine Smith, Walsh Principal
