Unexcused Absences - Parents, please remember that when your child is absent from school for any part of the day, they should return with a written note from you or from the doctor/dentist. An email note will be accepted. The note should state the reason for the absence as well as the date(s) of absence. Also, if your child is out for a part of the day for a doctor/dentist appointment and they return with a note from the doctor/dentist, their absence will not be reflected as an absence or tardy.

Ronald McDonald House - As a Faith in Action project, Eagle Heights will continue to support the Pop Tab Collection Program for the Ronald McDonald House in Houston. We have collected over 26 pounds of pull tabs just since school started! RMDH works with local recycling centers to raise money by collecting tabs from aluminum cans. The funds generated help to house and feed families as they focus on the healing of the hospitalized child.
Spirit Shirts - Spirit shirts are worn to school on spirit days (Fridays) and on field trips. Youth and adult size shirts are available for purchase at the front desk for $10 each.
Birthday Book Club - Don't forget to honor your child's birthday with a membership in the Birthday Book Club! BBC forms are located in the school lobby. Parent volunteers are needed. Please contact Teressa Pavlas @ tpavlas@eagle-heights.org or gtpavlas@sbcglobal.net.
Microwave Use - Parents, please do not send lunch box food that requires heating for students younger than 4th grade. For the safety of our students, the microwaves in the cafeteria are reserved for use by students in 4th grade and up. Thank you for your cooperation.
Paper Recycling - Parents, we have an ABITIBI recycling bin that sits on the northeast corner of the parking lot. Feel free to use it for paper, newspapers, magazines, and mail. Please do not put cardboard (boxes, cereal boxes, soda can boxes) in the bin as they cannot take it.
Accelerated Reading Program - In an effort to encourage our students to become life-long readers, EHCA will continue the AR program. Students can earn points by reading books for pleasure and taking comprehension tests on the book. AR points can be redeemed for prizes. We are excited about this opportunity to partner with you, our families, to instill a desire for reading in your child. The computer lab will be open for AR testing most Monday afternoons from 3:40-4:00pm and Tuesday mornings from 8:00-8:20am.
Product Safety and Recalls - Parents, please be aware of a website maintained by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission with news regarding product safety and recalls. You can go to www.cpsc.gov and click on Recalls and Product Safety News. You can pull up recalls by month or by product type.
