Wow the hot weather has finally arrived and summer is almost here! Please try to check the website as frequently as you can as it will be updated and used as a useful communication tool this year. All information on the weekly calendar should also be in your child's agenda as this is the agenda on the front board in our classroom. Your child's agenda should be up to date with the website, however if it is not this allows you as a parent to start valuable communication with your child on the importance of keeping his/her agenda up to date so that communication from school is reaching home.
The school website is also important to check as monthly newsletters are posted keeping you up to date with the events happening at Eagle Ridge as well as valuable communication between school and home.
