If your child will attend our AM and/or PM Eagle's Nest program, please read the following reminders:
Before School Care will open at 6:30 am each school day.
Students attending this program should be escorted to the side steps/metal ramp to the left of the gym and signed in by his/her parent or guardian. Students should not be dropped off in the parking lot. If this happens, students may be dismissed from the program. We don't have staff available to supervise the parking lot. Morning daycare will end at 7:30 am. Students will watch a movie. They may bring a book to read or something to color if they choose to do so! Students arriving after 7:30 should come in through the normal K-1 or 2-5 car lines.
After-School Care will begin at 2:45 pm. Students who attend this program will be dismissed from classrooms at 2:40 pm and will report to their assigned location (cafeteria, classrooms, or media center) to wait for Eagle’s Nest to start. All students will have the option to eat a snack provided by the school. However, a snack may also be sent from home (please no peanuts/peanut butter as we have students with allergies!) Students will stay with their assigned K-1, 2-3 or 4-5 cohorts the entire time and will participate in activities both in their assigned location and outside. Eagle’s Nest will end at 5:45 pm each school day. All PM students will now be picked up at the main entrance. Adults should ring the bell, state your name and who you are coming to pick and then wait outside the main entrance or in the air-lock area and should not enter the main hall. Please also make sure you are prompt and do not arrive after 5:45.
*It is imperative that all students be picked up by parents/emergency contacts no later than 5:45 pm. Parents will be charged an additional dollar/per minute after 5:45. All students must be checked out by their parent or guardian when picked up from Eagle’s Nest.
