Our Kindergarten Celebration (June 1 @ 8:15 am) and 5th Grade Graduation (May 29 @ 8:15am) are just around the corner! We are excited to celebrate our Eagles’ success and all they have accomplished this school year.
To help make the check-in process as smooth as possible, please review the important reminders below:
All guests must sign in through the front office and have a valid ID scanned through Raptor before entering the event.
Due to space limitations, 5th grade students may have up to 3 guests and Kindergarten students may have up to 2 guests. Fifth grade students are allowed one additional guest because the class size is significantly smaller than Kindergarten.
Families are encouraged to pre-check in before the event. Pre check in opens Wednesday, May 20th. To pre-check in, guests may come to the front office, scan their ID, sign the guest form, and have their visitor tag pre-printed for pick up on the morning of the event. This will help prevent long lines on the day of the celebration.
On the morning of the event, pre-printed visitor tags will be available for immediate pick up once you arrive on campus. All guests will enter through the cafeteria side doors.
Please remember: No guest will be allowed to enter the cafeteria without a printed visitor tag.

Almost immediately after notifying families and staff about the worldwide Canvas data breach, we were notified that Alachua County Public Schools was NOT affected by the breach.
Families should be on the lookout for a personalized letter (US Mail) from Alachua County Public Schools with important information on school zone lines for 2026-27.

Hello Idylwild families, this is Mrs. Warring with your weekend update.
We have only two weeks until Spring Break, so let’s finish strong and make sure our Eagles are SOARing high—Safe, Optimistic, Achieving, and Respectful.
Please join us for our upcoming SAC meeting on Tuesday, March 4th at 4:00 PM. An email was sent to all families and includes a virtual link, so we’re hoping this option makes it easier for more families to attend and participate. I hope to see you there!
And to our 5th grade parents, thank you for joining us Tuesday for our parent meeting. Your support and participation are truly priceless. Please be on the lookout for an email coming soon with details about all the exciting end-of-year activities planned for our 5th grade students.
Also, a big shout-out to our 3rd grade students who participated in the Morningside Nature Center field trip, sponsored by Friends of Nature Parks. We received a wonderful message from them that said:
“The Idylwild students were incredible! They asked great questions, took lots of notes, shared poems, and stayed engaged during the two-hour program. Both days were wonderful. We ALL enjoyed being with them.”
Great job, 3rd grade Eagles! Have a safe and restful weekend.
