Knowledge is power.
Information is liberating.
Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every
family. ~Kofi Annan
It is quite apparent as a family, you value knowledge. You took the time to research schools and make
a choice for your children that was different than the norm. Choosing a school that you feel is a good fit
for your family is the first step in the process of educating your
children. Now you should show your
children how much you value knowledge.
One good way to do that is to attend Curriculum Night on Thursday,
September 11th. As Kofi Annan
states, “Information is liberating” and gaining information about your child’s
classroom each year is quite important in creating that school/home team that
is necessary for the success of each child in school. Please make plans to attend our special
event. It was created with the thought
of strengthening the bond between school and home. It is an adult only event. Please do not bring small or school age
children, so you may concentrate on the information being presented without
distraction.
This week our framed art work from last spring’s Art Expo
arrive and was hung in the Lower School Office.
It is so nice to highlight the art work of our students. Elena R’s work was selected to grace the
walls of Lower School Office this year.
When you come to visit check out the details in her picture. It is a true picture of excellence.
Aquila the eagle has started traveling around the school. We have put up a special bulletin board
outside the Lower School Office for students to track Aquila’s
whereabouts. This week Aquila is in Mrs.
Mills’ classroom. Her students earned it
for showing wonderful citizenship in the hallway. It is quite remarkable for a kindergarten
class to earn Aquila the first week of school.
Formal Dress Days are a new item on the calendar for this year. We want students to understand there are certain days to dress in a different manner, whether for special events or other things. We held our first Formal Dress Day today. It was intended to be a day to help students and families understand what are appropriate formal dress uniform pieces prior to Picture Day for the Lower School next Wednesday. Below are the guidelines for Lower School students in case there is any confusion.
Girls-
Top:White polo with Eagle Ridge Academy logo
Bottom: Khaki pants, skort, or jumper
Any color uniform socks are acceptable
Only black tights may be worn on Formal Dress Days
NO leggings on Formal Dress Days
Black or Brown Dress shoes
Boys-
Top: Burgundy polo with Eagle Ridge Academy logo
Bottom: Khaki pants
Any color uniform socks are acceptable
Black or Brown Dress shoes
As I said above our next Formal Dress Day is Wednesday, September 10th for Lower School pictures. Please let us know if you have any questions about the above requirements.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Baier
