Mside Eagles launched our SOAR expectations in a new way this year with our Character Strong buddy rooms! Our 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade Eagle classrooms are each paired with a younger Kinder, 1st, or 2nd grade room to strengthen leadership qualities through "SOAR with" connections. We are excited to see their collaborations grow across the school year!

Good morning, and thank you for your support Eagle Families! 🌟 --
Please review our building processes -- Morning Drop-off Arrival & Dismissal Pick-up Reminders
Thank you for your partnership in making our arrival and dismissal times smooth, safe, and positive for all this year and years past. We truly appreciate the intentional awareness of our processes as well as the patience, understanding, and cooperation you’ve shown as we launch the 2025–26 school year. Please see below or review additional details in your printed Back-to-School-Night Letter that we will re-share via email today.
As a reminder:
✅ The fastest way to get help with a parking or arrival need (such as a blocked lane or an unsafe parking situation) is to call our office right away at 712-274-4048.
✅ Please share helpful details—such as the vehicle’s location, type, color, or license number—so we can make outside announcements to alert drivers and provide direct support as quickly as possible.
We also work to support staff and guest follow-up conversations to ensure clarity and understanding of our building processes -- we appreciate our "SOAR with" conversations with you ! Thank you for sharing this information in a "SOAR with" and respectful way for our newest Eagles learning processes, too!
✅ Continue to use our drive-thru safely with pauses as directed, choose legal parking spots in our lot or nearby streets, and help model safe routines for all of our Eagles. Drivers MUST find a legal parking spot, support handicap parking access, keep all crosswalks clear, and remain with vehicles when not in these locations.
Your efforts—whether following safe practices, sharing awareness with others, or modeling patience for new and visiting families—make a real difference in keeping every child safe during busy arrival and dismissal times.
Do review our Back to School Arrival & Dismissal Information in BTSN packets for quick reference. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with classroom needs or contact the office at any time for building questions.
We’re so proud of our Eagle community and grateful for the way we all work together to ensure every drop-off and pick-up ends with safety first.
Let’s keep SOARing together, building awareness respectfully and responsively together, and continue a great start to our "energized" school year!
Have a wonderful Day 2 Eagles—we can’t wait to see you! 🦅
