Hello Eagle Families,

As you know, Eugene Field A+ adopted PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). This framework is an evidence-based three-tiered system that allows us to ensure student safety and to celebrate the many positive choices students make each day. Students are working to Stay Safe, Own their Actions, Achieve A+ Greatness, and Respect (SOAR). Students are able to receive a variety of supports, whether it's a class working together to achieve a goal related to SOAR (tier 1 support) or a student working with a mentor in our Eagle Nest program (tier 2).

As we begin to look ahead to the 2024-2025 school year, we would love your help in promoting our school. If you know of a daycare or family that would like to learn more about Eugene Field A+, we would so appreciate you sharing either our promotional video or informational pamphlet (linked below) with them.

Thank you for your support of our school.

Kindest regards,

Mr. Mees, Principal
