Hello parents of students 12-15. We sent home a letter about the COVID vaccine for your students today. Here is further information from Dr. Bolen:
"NSHC is expecting the Pfizer vaccination to be approved here in the next week or so for individuals aged 12-15. Once approved by the FDA, BSSD will offer it to students and families right away. This will assist us in a more normal opening next year.
This is not mandatory for families, but highly recommended. If they have any questions, they should reach out to NSHC or the clinic."
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Take a moment to thank your child's teacher for all their hard work and dedication. Go Eagles!

Since we didn't get a visiting school photographer this year, Brittany will take all of our students' yearbook photos. They will not be available to order from the school, but you can download them and order yourself from Shutterfly or other places like that.
Wed 4/28: K-8
Thurs 4/29: 9-12
Send kids to school in their Yearbook Outfits.
Digital Photos will be available for parents to download from the school Facebook Page (no order forms).
For those with tickets:
Little Dribbler's 3rd/4th scrimmage at 1:50 today.
Little Dribbler's 5th/6th scrimmage at around 2:50-ish, or as soon as the first game is over and the gym is cleared.
Be sure to wear your masks the entire time (even if you are vaccinated).
For those without tickets: Watch the live stream of the games on the Aniguiin Facebook page.
Go Eagles!
Due to the high number of sick kiddos, we will postpone our Little Dribbler's scrimmage. More information will come next week.
Good morning families. We have a lot of sick students at home today. Please be sure to get clearance from the clinic before sending sick kids back to school. They will give you a form to send to school with students. Stay healthy Elim!

Sports physicals
Attention parents:
If your child needs a sports physical the clinic will be completing these exams April 20-21st. Please call the clinic to schedule.
You will need to come with your child and have the paperwork filled out before the appointment. If you need a copy please stop by the clinic and pick one up.
Please wish our 4th and 8th graders luck Tuesday as they take another PEAKS test. Go Eagles!
Let's all wish our 10th graders luck on their PEAKS science assessment tomorrow.
Please help them do their best by making sure they are well rested and on time.

Hello families.

Please help ensure they are well rested and on time for school tomorrow. Go Eagles!
Hello families. We have a temporary 1:1 special ed position open at the school. It is full-time 8:30-3:30. The position is temporary because it is "attached" to a particular student and dependent on the student's enrollment at Aniguiin School. We are trying to fill this position ASAP.
Please pick up and submit applications at the school.
Aniguiin School's 5th and 8th graders will take their PEAKS Language Arts tests tomorrow at 9 AM. Please make sure they are at school on time and are well rested.
Elim Volleyball will play in White Mountain this weekend. White Mountain's Principal Fair has asked Elim fans to cheer from Elim.
Grades four and seven have state testing tomorrow morning at 9. Please make sure they get lots of sleep and are at school on time. Go Eagles!
Aniguiin Students in 3rd and 6th grade will begin their first PEAKS state test tomorrow at 9 AM. Good luck Eagles!
