Cleat Closet

Cleat Closet

We need cleats! Cleats are expen­sive and kids’ feet are grow­ing fast. We’re start­ing up a Cleat Clos­et as part of the Ravens Care Clos­et. We would love to have enough cleats avail­able so that any stu­dent who needs a pair can find one that fits. So, if you have a pair of out­grown gen­tly worn cleats, please con­sid­er donat­ing them to Eagle Staff. If your stu­dent needs a pair, please con­tact Lau­ra Kunen or your child’s coach to see if we have the right size. Cleats can be donat­ed in the main office in the green box labeled “Ravens Care Clos­et.” Thank you!

Yearbook pre-orders are open Sept. 16–27

Yearbook pre-orders are open Sept. 16–27

Pre-orders help us deter­mine how many copies to order this year and also guar­an­tees that your stu­dent will receive a book when they arrive in June.

There will be two oppor­tu­ni­ties to pur­chase a year­book this year.

  • Sept. 16-Sept. 27 and
  • Dec. 2‑Dec. 13

With a stur­dy hard­cov­er and 80 full-col­or pages, our Ravens year­book is a great way to remem­ber class­mates, sport­ing events, spir­it weeks, assem­blies and more!

The cost of each year­book is $25. There will be a link avail­able on School­Pay to pay by cred­it card, (look at your his­to­ry in School­Pay to con­firm your pay­ment) or you can bring a check or cash into the office dur­ing these time­frames. For a par­tial or full schol­ar­ship, please con­tact your child’s grade-lev­el coun­selor.

Any gen­er­al ques­tions, please con­tact Kathy Sax­on, year­book advi­sor.

Ski Bus Registration

Ski Bus Registration

Reg­is­tra­tion is now open for Stone Ave. Snows­ports Ski Bus. Reg­is­tra­tion is open until Novem­ber 19. The pro­gram will be capped at the first 80 par­tic­i­pants and is open only to cur­rent enrolled stu­dents at Robert Eagle Staff Mid­dle School. After 80 have signed up, we will start a wait­list.
Please note this is not a school-run pro­gram. It is vol­un­teer run, using Snow Sports Con­sult­ing Ser­vice for trans­porta­tion.
On Decem­ber 4 at 7 p.m. (Zoom link TBA), we will hold a fam­i­ly and stu­dent meet­ing to go through every­thing and expec­ta­tions.

A few things to note:
  • Ski bus will run for 8 weeks this year, 2 more weeks than pre­vi­ous­ly.
  • Dates: Jan­u­ary 10, 2025, skip­ping Feb­ru­ary 21, fin­ish­ing on March 7, 2025, unless weath­er forces post­pone­ment. If a can­cel­la­tion occurs, we auto­mat­i­cal­ly extend the pro­gram the num­ber of trips missed.
  • Time: The bus­es depart RESMS at 4 p.m. for Sum­mit Cen­tral Ski Area; arrive back to RESMS around 10:45–11 p.m.
  • Ski bus is trans­porta­tion only (lessons must be arranged sep­a­rate­ly and we do not over­see atten­dance at those lessons).
  • Cost: $475/student.
  • All stu­dents will be required to sign a behavior/expectations con­tract before being part of the ski bus.
  • Keep up to date on the ski bus Face­book group.
What should you do now?
  • Wait for reg­is­tra­tion to open.
  • Make sure you have your student’s ski pass for the Sum­mit, or have a plan to pur­chase a reload­able tick­et card for the weeks we will be up there.
  • Pull out last year’s ski gear to check that every­thing still fits and/or secure rentals (Seat­tle Ski & Snow­board is a great, fam­i­ly-run option not far from our neigh­bor­hood).
  • Save the date for family/student meet­ing on Dec. 4, 7 p.m.
  • Need gear? Post on the Face­book page.
  • Have gear to offer? Post on the Face­book page.

Phys­i­cals can be sched­uled before, dur­ing or after school at the health clin­ic at Eagle Staff. Once the phys­i­cal form is filled out, you will need to attach it to your student’s Final­Forms account.

There is a $50 sug­gest­ed fee for stu­dents par­tic­i­pat­ing in the musi­cal the­atre pro­duc­tion. This fee helps cre­ate a high-qual­i­ty expe­ri­ence for stu­dents and sus­tains the pro­gram for years to come.
