The Raven's Call Delivery Update

How do YOU want to recieve the Raven's Call?

It's a challenge getting the news out to everyone.  One of the things that makes it hard is that we can only send this email out to folks who sign up for it using our subscription form.  

Most years, that means that some folks get the news and others don't. 

This year, we are trying something new.  
This year, Principal Stowell is going to help us reach more families by sending a link to the weekly Raven's Call Newsletter out to all Eagle Staff Families.

When you recieve that email, the link will take you to this, exact newsletter.
This means that those of us who are already subscribed will get the newsletter two ways.  Once, directly in your inbox, and once as a link from Principal Stowell.

If you do not want to recieve them both, you can opt to recieve only the link from Principal Stowell.

To do that, just unsubscribe from this newsletter using the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the page.  

Sports

Fall Sports Physicals

Available on campus at Neighborcare Health Center!

Have a student playing a fall sport at RESMS? Physicals are now available at the RESMS health center. Take along this physical form (Fall Sports Physicals RESMS) and get it filled out and turned in along with other fall sports paperwork.

Call 206-548-5770 or email amandaha@neighborcare.org to schedule.

Registration Open for Ravens Ski Bus

Registration is now open for Ravens Ski Bus through Mohan Ski School at the Summit.
  • The spots for ski/snowboard lessons AND transportation together are sold out. Please contact Ruth at office@skimohan.com to be placed on the waitlist.
  • There are still spots available for ski bus transportation only with no lessons.
Our program is listed under Stone Ave. Snowsports (not affiliated with Eagle Staff MS).
 
Ski bus will run for 6 weeks: 1/20, 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/24, and 3/3. (The ski school is not affiliated with SPS and so will still be operating ski bus/lessons on Friday, Feb. 24th.)

We leave the school at 4 pm and are generally back between 10 and 10:30 PM. Kids bring their gear on Friday mornings to school and we store it for them during the day. Much more info to come at our family meeting for registered students on November 15th at 7 PM at school.
 
If you have any questions, please reach out to Michelle at mpeters@eagleeyes.biz.

RESMS Care Cart & Closet

Ravens supporting Ravens

The Raven's Care Cart and Closet is a selection of school supplies, hygiene items, and household essentials for RESMS families in need.  Students are given access to Care Cart each week, along with food support from our partners at Family Works. 

The Care Cart and Closet are stocked with donations from our generous Raven families and small business sponsor, and are available to our social worker and counselors to meet identified student needs.

Each Friday, our Amazon Wish List is updated with our top needs.
This September, our emphasis is on school supplies to get all our Ravens started with what they need to learn and excel at school. 

The current top needed items are Composition Books (college- ruled); colored markers, tape, and highlighters. Families can drop these items off at the office or have them shipped directly to our family support coordinator at 751 N 75 th Street, Seattle, WA 98103.

Families wishing to support the program can also give to our designative Family Support Fund Here.   This is a great option for folks whose employers providing matching funds and gives us flexibility to respond to changing needs.

Music Notes

2022-23 Program Fees

Fees due this Friday, September 30

At the beginning of each school year, we ask that the families of musicians all contribute a $40 program fee for the year.

These funds supplement districts funds and our fundraising efforts and help pay for activities including small group coaching, instrument purchases & repairs, sheet music, instrument reeds, strings, oils, transportation to performance trips & competitions, a t-shirt for each student, and more. During remote schooling last year, these funds also paid for digital software so students could collaborate on a musical platform.

Please use this PayPal link to pay the annual program fee. Our goal this year is 100% participation! Please help us meet this goal by paying the program fee by September 30.
