Good Afternoon, Eagle Den Family, This is Principal Glover with weekly updates and announcements. I hope you are enjoying your weekend and catching up on your rest. It is hard to believe that we are completing our first month of school. With that being said, there are several mandatory updates that need to be completed to ensure we have effective communication. Last week, we sent home the state-mandated permission slips for all school activities. Your student can only participate in school activities if the permission slip is returned. We also sent home instructions for downloading the DCPS app and Rooms. Rooms replaced Bloomz, our primary mode of communication other than the phone. Friday progress reports go home. We will print out progress reports for the first nine weeks. After that, based on Duval policy, it will be in the student's focus account unless a hard copy is requested in Focus. Also, we have regulated arrival and dismissal. Please make sure you are on time with arrival and dismissal. Students are considered late at 8:20 am. We stop serving breakfast at 8:30 am. Dismissal begins at 2:55 pm, and parents are considered late at 3:15 pm. Builders of the Faith - is one of our faith-based partners. Our vision for the partnership is to improve the community and develop meaningful relationships with the community, students, parents, and guardians. We participated in their food drive, which is every 2nd Saturday. This drive is a lifeline for some of our families, providing them with much-needed food. Please join us on Sunday, September 15, 2024, to Pack the Pew. They are a massive supporter of the school.
