Eagle's Nest - Special Edition: Return to Learn

   Cleveland Return to Learn

It is very important that the contact information is current in Parent Connect.  This is replacing the EMERGENCY CARDS!  We use this information to contact you when your child is not feeling well or if there is an emergency.  The following information was sent out previously from the district on September 24th.  

Although many will find the new process to be self-explanatory, instructions are provided in this link Back to School Updates ReEnrollment.pdf 

Please take a few moments tonight or tomorrow, to complete the required updates.  We are expecting parents to have completed their updates by October 4, 2020.
