It’s the middle of the night or wee hours of the morning, your child is sick, and you know they won't be attending school that day? You can still call the Eagle View attendance line 24 hours a day at 218-562-6110 and leave a detailed message including:

• First and last name of your student
• Grade and teacher name of your student
• Your name and phone number
• Symptoms or reason for absence

*Remember, any students who are vomiting, have diarrhea, or who have a fever at or above 100 degrees must be remain out of school for 24 hours after the last episode of illness. Please help keep our student body and staff healthy by not medicating your student in order to mask their symptoms in order to send them to school.

Lifetouch will return to Eagle View on Tuesday, October 15 to do retakes. If you are interested in retakes for your student, please simply send their photo package back to school with her/him on October 15. Representatives from Lifetouch will take the old package in exchange for your student's retake and the new package should arrive at Eagle View in mid to late November.

If you have any questions or concerns about your retakes, Lifetouch Customer Service can be reached at 1-877-689-4056.

New this year! Each week, we will spotlight a number of Eagle View staff members from each of the departments within our school. We hope it's a way for you to get to know our Eagle View family when it comes to those you're not already familiar with. Hopefully you'll get to know each of us a little better through the Eagle View Staff Spolight in each edition of the Eagle View Update.

Fall conferences will be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, October 14, 15, and 16. Your student should have come home with a blue conference reminder slip for the day and time parents signed up for at Open House in August. Please make every effort to attend your scheduled time as this is a time for parents and classroom teachers to share joys and concerns about your student’s academic progress.

Religious Release will begin on Wednesday, October 30. Students attending will be dismissed at 1:00 and will not return to the classroom at the end of the day. For this reason, we ask that any dismissal notes regarding end of the day be called into the office by 12:00pm on Religious Release days.

October's Breakfast Buddies was for all families K-4, but beginning in November, we will have a new schedule:

November 8 ~ Last names starting with A to L

December ~ NO BREAKFAST BUDDIES

January 10 ~ Last names starting with M to Z

February 14 ~ Last names starting with A to L

March 20 ~ Last names starting with M to Z

April 10 ~ LAST BREAKFAST BUDDIES ~ ALL K-4 families

With respect to weather and class sizes, we are trying this new schedule to alleviate congestion and make it a positive experience for everyone involved.

Eagle View Nature Center

As we walk into school this week, each day seems to be more beautiful than the last! The bright red and orange maple trees have been joined by yellow birch and brown oaks. The wet fall we have had only seems to be adding to the display of colors.

The annual Pumpkin Sale is being held in the Nature Center this week. Pumpkins are brought in from a farm in Foley, and students are given the opportunity to buy a pumpkin at the pumpkin sale. 4th graders run the sale, from advertising to working shifts, unloading the truck, explaining directions, collecting money and helping students carry their pumpkins. It is such a great experience for the students. All proceeds from the sale are used to support the Nature Center and outdoor education opportunities for Eagle View students.
