• Principal for the Day?!


We’re thrilled to announce an exciting prize for our Fun Run fundraiser – the opportunity for a student to become “Principal for the Day”!

Students who reach the top fundraising level will enjoy a day filled with special activities alongside Mr. Holbrook. Their day will start with breakfast,  followed by helping Mr. Holbrook greet students in the morning. They’ll also join him in classroom visits, where they’ll have the chance to read to students, and they’ll wrap up the experience with a lunch alongside Mr. Holbrook and a friend of their choosing.

Thank you for your incredible support – we can’t wait to see who will earn this unique Principal for the Day experience!




• Fun Run Fundraising Update

We are thrilled to announce that our incredible Eader community has already raised an amazing $20,000 for our Fun Run fundraiser! Thank you for your support and enthusiasm – we’re off to an incredible start!

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to enhancing the educational experience for every student. Keep those registrations and donations coming – together, we can make it snow at Eader!

School Safety Preparedness Update


This past month, Eader maintained its focus on safety with two essential drills.

On October 15, we held our second secure drill of the year, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how smoothly it went. Teachers and students responded as planned, sweeping hallways and moving indoors with remarkable speed and efficiency.

On October 17, we participated in the nationwide Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill. Students and staff knew exactly what to do as they followed earthquake safety procedures and evacuated to our designated areas seamlessly.

Both drills couldn’t have gone better, and I’m incredibly proud of our team’s readiness and commitment to safety.

That said, I would like to thank our community for consistently checking into the school office and using our Raptor Identification system for a name badge – your support is invaluable as we put safety first at Eader!


Attendance Always Matters

Consistent attendance remains essential for student success.

Our K-5 attendance for October was 96.72%, with 188 students achieving perfect attendance.

In comparison, September had a 97.5% attendance rate and 198 students with perfect attendance.

As we move toward the holidays, it is vital that students continue to attend school regularly.

We appreciate you making school attendance a priority for your child.  


Parking Lot Safety Reminder

Please help keep our students safe by driving carefully and observing all traffic safety signs and speed limits around our school.

  • When leaving the parking lot, only right turns are allowed.
  • Do not park or leave your vehicle in any area marked with a red curb.
  • For safety, please ensure your child exits and enters your vehicle on the curbside only.
  • Please continue to pull forward until you are immediately behind the car in front of you while waiting to pick up your child. This will help eliminate parents cutting in front of each other and prevent dangerous maneuvers.
  • As a safety reminder, please do not park in the center roundabout to exit your car and walk through traffic to pick up your child. This is dangerous and disrupts the flow of traffic.

Thank you for helping keep our drop-off and pick-up areas safe and efficient for everyone! Your cooperation ensures the safety of our Eader community.
