Safety First...


The Eagle Ridge Academy Community had a wonderful Veterans Day celebration last Friday.  The band played delightfully and it was a treat to have our own Mr. Ulbrich be the guest speaker.   The 3rd grade also took some time on Friday to honor their own good citizens and learn from two Marines (one of them was Mrs. MacNevin’s husband) stationed in Minnesota.  Below are a few pictures from the events.






 




For safety’s sake please do not drive and park in front of school buses at school bus stops to keep the bus from leaving.  The bus drivers have a set time to leave the stop  in order to get all students on the bus to Eagle Ridge Academy on time.  They must adhere to their schedule.  It is quite dangerous to block the bus in order to get your student(s) on the bus as it is leaving.  

On another transportation note, ½ day kindergarten parents are being asked to leave out the entrance each day between 12:00 and 12:30.  We have recess in the front parking lot and an upper school PE class that has been using the side of the school for outdoor activities.  In order to keep those students out of the way of cars, we are asking ½ day kindergarten parents to leave through the entrance.  I want all parents to be aware this is happening if you happen to come to school during this time period.   Please note this is the ONLY time of day this is acceptable.  Do not go out the entrance at pick up to avoid waiting in line. I saw several cars do this at pick up on Friday and was quite disappointed to see it happen.  Remember not everything can be designed for convenience, but it is all designed with safety in mind.    Thank you for keeping all the members of the Eagle Ridge Community safe when in your vehicle on school grounds.

Notes and Reminders
  • Friday (11/16) is Spirit Wear Day for all students.
  • There is no school next Wednesday (11/21), Thursday (11/22), and Friday (11/23) due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Have a delightful week!
Mrs. Baier
