Principal's Message
Hello Kindergarten Families!
Welcome to Eagle Crest Elementary School. My name is Amanda Holden and I am the very proud principal here at ECES. Eagle Crest is a warm, inviting, community school with a leadership focus and a commitment to supporting students to be the best that they can be. Entering kindergarten is a huge milestone in a child’s life and we are thrilled to celebrate (and support you through) this big event!
It is such a joy to welcome new learners to our school and to be a part of your family’s K-12 journey. The best way that you can prepare your child for success in Kindergarten (and beyond!) is to give them opportunities to practice being independent- opening snacks, unpacking a lunch, zipping backpacks and to encourage curiosity. Please don’t worry too much about letters and numbers- that’s our job. Encouraging a love of learning and connecting school as a positive experience and an opportunity to grow is a great way to get started!
Below are a couple of important events and dates to be aware of as we inch closer to the beginning of the school year. We have made some adjustments to the beginning of the year schedule, so please read through carefully to see what to expect this year.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I am looking forward to meeting with you and welcoming your family to Eagle Crest!
Warmly,
Amanda

August 16-17, 2022 - Kindergarten Assessment Days
Please use the form linked below to sign up for a 45 minute appointment slot. During this appointment your child will meet with one of our teachers for some basic school readiness assessments, visit our kindergarten classrooms, and check out a bit of our school. These are not assessments to prepare your child for, rather we are just getting a feel for who your kiddo is and what skills they may have to start the year.

When you arrive for your scheduled appointment, please meet us on the small playground. At this time, we are unable to have parents inside the building, so plan to relax on the playground or go run a local errand. We have some time built into the appointment time for play and getting to know the teacher. At the end of the appointment we will meet you back at the playground.
August 18, 2022 - 2-3pm - Teacher Assignment and Kindergarten Open House
New this year, we will be creating class lists and sharing assigned teachers and classrooms on August 18th, using the information that we gather during the assessment days. You can expect an email and a phone call during the early part of the day with your child’s classroom assignment. That afternoon the teachers will have an optional, low key, “open house” where you can pop into the classroom and meet the teacher.
August 19, 2022 - First Day of School!
