The Eagle Post is our school’s newsletter that is emailed every Tuesday at 4pm. It keeps you up to date on all the happening around school and things that are coming up.
September 2024 is bringing some changes to the Eagle Post. We’re switching to the DPS messaging service to write our newsletters. While we’re losing some “prettiness” factors, it is helping us streamline who gets the newsletter. There is no more “subscribing” or a staff member manually entering/deleting emails each school year. It simply uses our back of house system called Infinite Campus to send to all guardians that are linked to our students.
If you have a family member such as a grandparent who would love to get our newsletters, you can have them fill out this google form and we’ll manually enter them to get it weekly! They can sign up for that here:
