Good Morning Eader Families,

Please see the information and updates below for the week of September 7:

School News

Thank You for a Wonderful First Week!

A big thank you to our staff and community for helping make the first week of school such a success. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother start!

The thoughtful planning, preparation, and thorough review of school communications all played a huge role in ensuring our students felt welcomed and supported from day one. Your dedication and teamwork set the tone for a great year ahead.


Labor Day Holiday - No School Monday, September 7th

School will not be in session on Monday, September 7th, in observance of Labor Day.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing long weekend!


Planning Day Schedule Reminder

Back to School Night - Thursday, September 17

Please join us for Back to School Night on Thursday, September 17, from 6:00–7:05 pm.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, learn more about the classroom experience, and hear how families can support a successful school year.

The evening will include two identical sessions: 6:00–6:30 pm and 6:35–7:05 pm.




Eader Beach Day - Sunday, September 27


Please note the flyer below for information pertaining to our upcoming Family Beach Day.

Parking located at the south end of the Brookhurst parking lot.




Family Picnic on the Lawn - Thursday, October 1

Please save the date for our Family Picnic on the Lawn during Airshow Practice Day!

Please see the information below for more information:

• Parking will be significantly impacted, and families should plan on parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Please allow yourself ample time to find parking and walk to the location where you will meet your child. Arriving early is recommended, as we want to avoid any stress on our students if families are running late.

• Local restaurants are also typically overwhelmed on this day as several nearby schools hold similar events during Airshow Practice Day. If you plan to order food, please place your order well in advance. The easiest option may be to pack a lunch at home and walk or bike to school.

• Families will enter campus through the Eader Office and meet their child on the blacktop before walking to their designated area on the school field.

• All families should bring beach chairs or blankets for comfortable seating during the picnic.

• Parents with multiple children in the same lunch period are welcome to bring one child to the other’s location on the field so they can enjoy the picnic together. Please note that students will not be dismissed from class to join a sibling in a different lunch period.

• Families are welcome to stay until the end of their child's lunch period.

• All guests must exit through Gate 5 only.

• Finally, for on-campus activities that welcome parents, the expectation is that families enjoy the event and students remain in class until the final bell. Important instruction continues until the end of the day.

If early checkouts begin to take place during these events, we may need to reconsider offering these on-campus community experiences in the future.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us continue to provide these engaging activities for our community.

Important: If you are unable to attend, please ensure your child is aware.




Yearbook Update: We Need Your Photos!


Throughout the year, we will be requesting photos from school events to help make our yearbook a special collection of Eader memories. We are currently looking for photos from the first day of school—please feel free to share any pictures you captured!

Thank you in advance for helping make this year’s yearbook a meaningful one for our community.

School Marquee Birthday Update

Parking Lot Safety & Efficiency - Please Thoroughly Review

With only a single lane entering and exiting our school parking lot, please keep in mind that one car has the ability to severely impact and hold up the entire line. To help keep traffic moving and ensure safety:

• Please have your child prepared to leave the vehicle safely and quickly on the curbside (school side).

• Stay in your car at all times.

• Pull up as far as you can, even past the gate, so the maximum number of cars can unload along the curb.

• Do not pull in front of other cars if there is a hold up.

• When leaving the parking lot, right turns only are permitted.

• Do not park or leave your vehicle in any area marked with a red curb.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and supporting the smooth flow of traffic in our Eader community.
