Hello Eagle Crest Families!
We have had such a wonderful start to the brand new school year. Thank you to everyone who participated in our Welcome Back Meet and Greet on Monday afternoon, We were excited to welcome over 300 families to that successful event. I am also appreciative of all of the families who have been returning to the 21-22 school year full of enthusiasm for full time, 5-day per week in-person learning. We know that this is how students learn best and we are dedicated to making this happen for our community.
In the coming weeks I am looking forward to connecting more with all of you. This is a great community and I am so glad we can share this school year together!
I hope you have a great weekend!
Warmly,
Amanda

Hello Eagle Crest Families!
We have had a great start to the week! It has been great getting to know all of your children and learning more about them!
TOMORROW is our first Spirit Day of the school year! We will all be wearing our new Eagle Crest Leadership t-shirts and PTO is sponsoring a FREE Kona Ice Truck after school for all students!
If your child has not received their Leadership t-shirt, have them stop by the office to get one on Friday!
All the best,
Lindsey Cheney

iPad Refresh
As we begin the school year, every SVVSD student will be upgrading their school-issued iPad. At Eagle Crest each grade level will be assigned a "Refresh Day" (or two) to allow staff the time to exchange and set up devices with every student.
You can help us make sure this day goes smoothly by sending your student with their iPad AND the original Apple charging cord and brick/plug (in any condition) to be replaced.
Upcoming Dates:
5th Grade- August 19th & August 20th
3rd Grade- August 23rd & August 24th
Kinder - 2nd Grade- TBD, look for an update in the newsletter or from your student's teacher!
