Hello Eagle Parents

This week marked the return from Spring Break, and our students are back in full swing as we officially kicked off the 4th 9-week grading period! We're in the home stretch for the school year and everyone is working hard to finish strong.

We also had a wonderful Pre-K family engagement night at Gray Elementary, where families gathered for fun and learning.

As we move forward, our dedicated teachers and staff are continuing to prepare for the upcoming state testing, ensuring that our students are ready to shine!

Please continue to read for upcoming events and news.

Shoe Drive

Step Up to Make a Difference

It's time to put your gently worn, used, or new shoes to good use! We're collecting shoes for those in need, and we're accepting both kids' and adults' shoes. Whether they're sneakers, sandals, boots, or dress shoes, every pair makes a difference.

Drop off your donations and help someone step into a better tomorrow. Let's walk the walk together - one pair of shoes at a time!

Drop off donations in the Meyer office through March 21.
 

4th Grade Swimming Lessons Continue

Our 4th graders will participate in 7 days of swimming instruction as part of the LCISD PE curriculum, beginning March 17. As a reminder, each student needs to bring a swimsuit, towel, comb/brush, small bag for their wet towel and suit, and hair tie if needed. Girls are required to wear a one-piece swimsuit and those individuals with long hair must wear their hair up. No t-shirts, or cut-offs are allowed - swimsuits only. No electronics, jewelry, sprays, lotions, or gels are allowed. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions.
