Principal’s Hello

Hello Golden Eagle Families!

We had another awesome week in The Nest. Last night we hosted hundreds of students and family members for 5th Grade Family Night, we brought back our 8th Grade Science Fair, and we opened our Gold Mine Student Store 3 times while also hosting student-led pizza parties every day this week.

We want to run hard through the finish line, continuing our routines until the final bell on the final day. Please set this same expectation at home so our students finish strong. Our lives are easier when we paddle together. This is a mantra with our staff.

Enjoy your weekends with family and friends!

Important | End of the Year Student Medication Pick-up

The end of the school year is fast approaching. We want to ensure that your student’s leftover medication is safely returned to your home. All medications kept at school must be picked up at school by a parent/guardian on or before June 18.

  • Schools cannot retain medication for students over the summer.
  • Any medication not picked up by June 18 will be disposed.
  • Students are not permitted to transport medications home.
  • Medications must be picked up by a parent/guardian. This includes all prescription and non- prescription medications (including inhalers and epinephrine pens).
  • If you are unable to pick up your student’s medication by June 18, please contact Nurse Oliver at 541-355-6922.

Recordatorio de Medicamentos de Fin de Año Escola

El final del año escolar se acerca rápidamente. Queremos asegurarnos de que los medicamentos sobrantes de su estudiante se devuelvan de manera segura a su hogar. Todos los medicamentos guardados en la escuela deben ser recogidos en la escuela por un padre/tutor antes del 18 de Junio.

  • Las escuelas no pueden retener medicamentos para los estudiantes durante el verano.
  • Cualquier medicamento que no se recoja antes del 18-6-2024 será desechado.

8th Grade Science Fair

This past Wednesday evening the eighth-grade students concluded their science and engineering project unit with a science fair to display their learning. Here is what one person had to say:

“The students’ projects were so impressive! Making a battery out of lemons, how color affects taste, what’s the best amount of baking powder to use for fluffy cookies, how to get the best stretch in slime, and even “Are 8th graders smarter than teachers” (the data showed YES 😉) were just a few of the topics covered. 

The event was well attended, and students were excited to show their posters to their families and parents/guardians were so proud of their kids. You could tell that this 4-week project really sparked and showcased the students’ curiosity and enthusiasm for science.”

Ms. Crabtree and Mr. Segesta thank all parents and families for supporting this endeavor.
