Principal's Message
Tuesday, January 13, 2021

Dear Eagle Rock Families,

I hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine we have right now; seems like by mid-week the temperatures will drop again. 

As you know, Monday, January 18th is MLK Day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We remember his contributions as a day of service rather than a “day off”.  Hoping you and your family find a meaningful way to honor his work that still resonates with us today.

I was disappointed that our attendance at last week’s Coffee with the Principal was so low.  I suspect you were all still adjusting to your school routines and I’m hopeful I’ll see more faces at the next one.  It is always so uplifting to see our adult community together, even if it’s framed by Zoom squares.

During our Coffee we reviewed what constitutes present vs. absent with distance learning.  Some policies have been revised.  Remember, you must log in daily and/or submit work the same day to be counted present. Ideally, you are both logged in AND submitting work for maximum benefit.  Please talk to your teacher or contact the office if policies are unclear to you.  In addition to being “present” we stressed the importance of ENGAGEMENT.  We hope to continue increasing student participation, turning on cameras, and asking questions.  Let us know how we can be more successful with this.

Another Coffee topic was about upcoming i-Ready Middle of Year assessments.  All students will take them in both Math and Language Arts.  These will be done only during the instructional day.  We ask parents to help make sure students are doing their best and working in a quiet space.  We also ask that parents not help with any problem solving.  This leads to “false highs” in data, which in turn doesn’t allow the teacher to know where your child needs help.  Remember these assessments are only to help us support your child; they do not contribute to report card grades or any other types of qualifications, be it gifted or special ed. 

This Wednesday is historically a very important day for our country.  We do not plan to stream live coverage of Inauguration Day in grades 3 or younger.  Teachers in grades 4-6 are making their own decisions about how to recognize this day, and any teacher using live streaming is also offering families an option to do asynchronous work during that time should you have concerns about viewing.  Please reach out to your teacher with any questions. 

Finally, we ask ALL parents to take the School Experience Survey for our school. Our participation rates for staff and students are high and we want to get our parent participation rate high as well.  The deadline has been extended until February 5th, so I will be campaigning hard for this until we see our response rate up for parents. Use the button on the right to take the survey.

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy week, and one inspired by hope for better days ahead.

Best,
Stephanie Leach
Principal
