A very important daily communications and learning folder called the EAGLES Folder will be used each day by Miss Seall's students and parents. This 3-ringed folder (red for girls and blue for boys) houses EVERYTHING students and parents need to keep up-to-date with what is going on at school. Gone are the days of wrinkled papers and lost notes, newsletters, or calendars. Everything you need is in one folder! EAGLES folders are important! They help students to establish good organizational skills - - - - - - - skills that can carry on throughout their time in school. EAGLES folders will be sent home every night. Please return them every school day.
