Below this note, you will see a file attachment for the ILP Parent Input Form. ILP stands for Individual Learning Plan. This form is for you to share your goals for your child in a variety of areas. These are not limited to academics. Please email these forms to your child's teacher by Friday October 8, so that they can use them while preparing for the Partnership Meetings.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

News from CFEP
Hello from CFEP!
We were so thrilled with the response we had for Eagle Peak Swag at the picnic! Thank you so much for your support. We have received feedback that there has been interest in purchasing more, so we wanted to set up a new way of getting your swag that makes it easy for parents and our school staff to facilitate. We will be adding a purchase portal on the CFEP website for you to purchase items, and have scheduled days for self service pick-up in front of the school to minimize contact in the office similar to what we had during distance learning. You will be required to pick them up at these scheduled times ONLY.
We are also VERY excited to share that we are working towards offering EPMS branded masks, and will hopefully have them this fall for purchase! These are high quality cotton masks that have a metal nose bridge, adjustable ear loops, and a filter pocket. We will have them in two sizes, for kids and adults. We have tested them on a variety of faces to ensure that they will work across the board.
Stay tuned for the announcement of these items being officially launched soon, and thank you again for all of your support!!
CFEP is excited to announce a new way to GIVE in October: The GoldenBug Gives EPMS Fundraiser ! GoldenBug Kids, locally established in 2016, carries children's shoes, apparel, gifts, and goodies for everyday play.
You can use our school’s Promo Code in-store OR online. The Promo Code for our school is:

A Few Reminders:
Covid Testing- Please note that we must receive the results of a Covid- 19 PCR test. We cannot accept the results of a rapid test. Thank you for your help with this.
We cannot allow childcare pick up between 3p-3:30p. Amy and Leslie are not in the office due to carpool pick up.
Sometimes it may be quicker and easier to walk in and pick up your kids at their classroom if there is parking.
Please remember to send a water bottle with your child's name on it to school with them. They can refill them in the classrooms and the drinking fountain if they run out.
If you need to pick up your child early, please email both the office (Admin@eaglepeakmontessori.org) and the classroom (all email addresses are located in the Parent and Student Handbook located in Transparent Classroom). This will be a great help as the teachers are planning their lessons.
Please always, always use the crosswalk.
Make up picture day is scheduled for October 15, 2021.
Please remember to write your childs name on their jackets, lunchboxes, water bottles etc.
Carpool Help
If you would like to help out with morning or afternoon carpool, please contact Jen Slattengren.
Please remember you must be vaccinated to volunteer at EPMS.
News from PTLG
EPMS Yearbook Committee: The EPMS yearbook is created each school year by a fun group of parent volunteers who are dedicated to creating a yearbook full of wonderful memories for Eagle Peak students. We are always looking for volunteers to join the team! Some of the volunteer opportunities include helping organize yearbook activities, taking photographs of class and school events, designing yearbook pages, and so much more. If you are interested or have questions about joining our fun group of parents, please email Jennifer Womble and Rachel Hallquist at ptlg@eaglepeakmontessori.org
Also, in order to volunteer on campus you must be vaccinated and finger printed.
Don't forget about Box Top$ for Education!
Remember to gather your Box Tops for Education.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Buy participating products and use the Box Tops mobile app to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app identifies eligible products and automatically adds Box Tops to Eagle Peak's earnings online. Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your e-receipts and earn Box Tops. Your earnings may seem small, but they really do add up. The more people that participate, the bigger the impact we can make. Learn more about how Box Tops works at BTFE.com.
