'Tis the Season
Temperatures will be starting to drop. We go outside (weather permitting, to 10 degrees below zero) for recess every day. Please, please, please start preparing to send your student(s) to school with appropriate winter outerwear. This means:
- warm coat
- winter hat
- mittens or gloves
- scarves
- snow pants
- boots
- Rain coat
- Rain Boots
It is always a good idea to mark your child’s name on all items. You would be surprised how many pairs of black snow pants we get!
EACS Interventionists
Parents,
Do you need a few hours out of the house? Are you tired of scrolling through your phone? Are you or someone you know looking for part time work? Well look no further! EACS needs a dedicated community member to help with one on one student interventions. Come and see me, Dr. Mills directly! The hours are from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. Pay will be discussed at the time of interest shown. I look forward to seeing you soon!
EACS Families,
Please bring in a photo of your military member. This can be a family member, friend or neighbor etc. Photos will be collected at the front office and hung up in the front office to show our appreciation to past and present service men and women. In order to get photo returned, please include student name, grade and teacher's name on the back.
Pizza Friday will be Friday, November 1, 2024. Here is the link https://pizza-fridays-2024-6th-grade-copy.cheddarup.com .
We need one more person to help make sure our students receive their pizza at lunch this week.
We would like to have Popcorn Fridays!
Popcorn Friday volunteers - We would love a couple helpers to help do popcorn on the designated Fridays! Counts for volunteer hours! Sign up here to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4DADAE2CA6FA7-51851921-202425
Parents,
Lifetouch will be back to our school on Wednesday, November 6th, the day after remote learning day, to retake photos. Students who were absent will also get the opportunity to have their picture taken. If your child is retaking pictures because the first weren't to your liking. Please let us know how we can assist your child(ren) this time by completing the form at the link below.
Hello Parents,
I am so glad that this year has started on a positive and joyous note! We need your support! Many tasks or jobs are completed for the direct help with students and support of our staff because of your dedication to our school. Please let us know if you are available to assist with the following.
*Classroom project preparations (Art)
*Classroom interventions
*Arrival Procedures
*Dismissal Procedures
*EACS PTO
When you have chosen your activity, please contact the front office by phone (907)742-3025 or email EACSFrontOffice@asdk12.org.
EACS Families,
Did you know we have a way for you and your child(ren) to get more practice with Spalding phonograms on our website. Just visit https://www.asdk12.org/eagleacademycharter. Once there, choose "Families" then "Phonograms". There are videos made by our very own Mrs. Timberlake. Remember, this is a team effort to get our students the help they need to be successful in our wonderful school.
Looking ahead. We are hoping to find a handful of parents who would like to earn school service hours by sponsoring an after school activity next fall. After School Activities (ASA) will start approximately mid-late September and run through the first week of December (12 weeks) and are typically one day a week for an hour of instructional time. Parents who lead an activity will be able to help fulfill their annual school service required of 16 hours.
If you have a special skill, talent, or hobby that you would be willing to share with students please contact the front office.
Some Possible Activities Include:
Quilting/Sewing
Digital Photography
Dance
Ukulele
Beading
Chess club
Drama
Cross Country Running*
And More
*Running club will begin soon after school begins to prepare for the Beach Lake Jamboree in September.
