Eaton Parent Newsletter
December 9th, 2022
Dear Eaton Families,
We enjoyed a great week at Eaton. Our Eaton Spirit Days were so much fun. Thank you for participating with us. Don't forget that next Wednesday, December 14th, is a half day for our students. We will dismiss at 12:00.
The Winter Chorus Performance on Thursday night was amazing. Our students did a wonderful job. Thank you to all of our families and students who came out to support them.
We hope our families are enjoying our Eaton PTA Holiday Tour of Lights. Don't forget to place your votes for your favorites in each category. Voting ends January 13th.

Please support our PTA Spirit Night at Cinnaholic on December 13th, from 5:00pm - 8:00pm.
Reminders:
Students may not be checked out of school after 1:45pm. If you need to check your child out early, please make sure to do this before 1:45pm.
Please make sure that car signs are visible, and placed in the front window, passenger side, of your vehicle at parent pick-up. We ask that the sign stays up until your child enters your vehicle. This helps our parent pick-up line move quickly. If you need a new sign, please see Ms. Harrison at the front desk.
If you plan to attend a holiday party or activity with your child's class, please make sure you have confirmed with your child's teacher. In most cases you will be asked to complete the volunteer training process.

Volunteer Information
All volunteers must complete the training orientation, complete and turn in a volunteer application form, and take the volunteer assessment with 80% or higher each school year.
Volunteer application forms are linked below, and are also available in the front office.
All field trip chaperones must become a Level II volunteer, which requires a background check through NHCS. Background checks are good for three years. You can log into your account to check your expiration date, or contact Mrs. Allen. The NHCS background check system is linked below.
If you attended training last year with Mrs. Allen, there is an option to attend a self-paced training online and submit a quiz. Please contact Mrs. Allen for more information.
Level I
Parents, family, or community members volunteering to assist students in a supervised setting are not required to undergo a background check if they are continually supervised by school personnel during the school day.
Level II
Parents, family, or community members volunteering to assist students in an unsupervised setting away from school personnel are deemed Level II Volunteers. We also ask that all chaperones become Level II volunteers, as well as those interested in assisting in our media center and cafeteria at Eaton Elementary. An applicant designated a Level II Volunteer must complete the online application and the criminal background check. Applications must be completed at least two weeks prior to the time you wish to begin volunteering. The cost of background checks are $20.
