Another new year is upon us and I wanted to introduce our new way of communicating with parents this year. It is called EAGLE NEWS and it is a live document that can be checked anytime and will have the most up to date information. I will send a .pdf version as well so it can be checked without internet access.

Reminders : Tuesday’s school is for grades 1-8. Grade 8’s beginning at 8:30 and our grade 1-7’s starting at 8:45. The day ends at 10:45.

Kindergarten families will be contacted by the school for news on transition.

Hello students, parents and families,

As the new school year quickly approaches, I want to introduce myself and share some important information. I’m excited to join the Upper Pine community and look forward to a successful 2025/2026 school year. A more formal newsletter will come out late next week, but below are the key events to get us started.

The school office opens for business on Monday, August 25th. 

First Day of School

The first day of school for students is Tuesday, September 2nd. Elementary (1-7) students will start at 8:45 AM and the Grade 8 students will begin at 8:30. Dismissal is at 10:45 AM. On this day, students will return to their last year’s classroom. Teachers will inform students and families of their new classroom assignments later in the day.

Day 1 new teacher information:

• If students were in Mr. Dale’s class, they will be with Mr. Evoy.
• If students were in Mr. Smith’s class, they will be with Mrs. Chen.
• If students were in Mrs. Sutherland’s class, they will be with Ms. Greening.

New classes will officially begin on Wednesday, September 3rd. Any new or returning students who are unsure of where to go should report to the office.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten teachers will begin contacting families on Tuesday, September 2nd to schedule transition visits. The first full day of Kindergarten is Wednesday, September 10th.

I can’t wait to meet you all and see what adventures this school year has in store for us.
