Sparked from units students have engaged in throughout the year in the classroom and STEM we will be kicking off a special projects in each grade-level. Each grade level will working on a different project where they will be upcycling materials to create a product that will be sold the last week of school. We hope to use this project to bring awareness to all the amazing ways Eagle Elementary is working to emphasize sustainability. Students will be working on these during STEM and media over the next few weeks. Please consider donating gently used clean t-shirts (any size) and plastic bottle caps next week. Collection boxes will be placed outside the design lab. Thank you in advanced for all your support!

COVID TESTING
There is some new information on our radar which was confirmed through a conversation with the Boone County Health Department this past week. We want families informed so they can make the best decision for your respective family members.
Some COVID tests are not currently accepted by the Department of Health for return to school/work –
- The only negative result that will allow a child/staff member back into school is a PCR. (Per IN Dept of Health and Boone County Health Department, a negative rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 is not acceptable for a return to school.)
- Schools can accept any antigen test if it comes back positive---We will treat as a positive case (Through this process, we will inform you of isolation/quarantine protocols as required by the state and county health departments.)
- If a family/household member has a PCR antigen test that comes back negative and the individual has no symptoms, then no other testing is necessary. Students can return to school.
- If symptomatic and rapid antigen comes back negative then a follow up PCR test is required due to the high rate of false negatives in the rapid antigen test.
Important NOTE: * If an individual has had a close contact with a positive COVID case, a negative test cannot shorten the quarantine period.
