Note from Nurse Jamie
The First Week of School Will Be HOT!!!!!!
Here are some suggestions to deal with the heat. As well, teachers will rotate students to cooling areas in the building to allow for a break from the heat.
  • Please send a water bottle to school with your child.
  • Consider sunscreen application before leaving home
  • Dress in light, breathable clothing in order to keep cool.
  • It is strongly suggested that the students do not wear Flip Flops or slip- on Crocs. The new playground has many rope climbing and scaling options which could be difficult to perform without proper fitting shoes.
Thanks for helping to make the first day of school fun and safe for the students

Form and Fee Night

Class lists!
Eagle Extras!
Pay your fees!
Ask questions!

Form & Fee Night is Tuesday, August 20, from 4-6pm. If you have not already paid your school fees and lunch fees online then bring your checkbook to Irving at this time to do so. The forms went out over the summer, but some are also available on the District 97 website.

More fun than that, though, is this is when class assignment lists are posted. Look outside the school’s front door to see which teacher your child has. Note that the lists will come down that night in order to make some changes. Class lists are not posted online for privacy reasons. (Please do not share photos of a class list on Facebook or other public online setting.)

The school is open on Form & Fee night, so new families can tour around on their own and the kids MIGHT be able to peek in their new classrooms.

Eagle Extras, Irving’s after-school program, is accepting registrations starting at Form & Fee night as well. Details can be found here.

Families do not have to stay for the whole time. Just drop by and say hello while you fill out forms, ask any questions of the front office staff, and hang out with parents you haven’t seen in a while.

See you soon!
