Eagle Academy encourages academic excellence by integrating proven instructional methods with a challenging curriculum and high expectations.This combination provides every child with the foundation needed to achieve proficiency of Eagle Academy’s performance standards at each instructional level.

Hello EACS Families,

Please remember that teachers will be paying attention to Eagle Academy Charter's Dress Code. If you have received violation slips, and you have any questions, please check with the front office.

We are doing a great job with our Arrival /Dismissal Process. Please remember to stop and wait for the dispatcher to put your number into their device and tell you which door you will go to before proceeding in the pick up line. Also, our team cannot buckle up our little ones in the car. Please ensure that your child is able to buckle themselves up to keep our lines moving expeditiously.

Again, thank you so much for your support! Go Eagles!

Your Principal,

Dr. Lynn Mills

Parents,

October is a very important month for schools in ASD. This is the period when our school district has to report to the state of Alaska schools' student attendance for funding purposes. It is of extreme importance that all of our students come to school every day, but especially in October. Let's fill the seats so that we can get credit for all of our students registered in our school! Thank you kindly for your support!

Parents,

Our staff is dedicated to ensure student preparedness and safety. We will perform safety drills at school to aid in preparing students to remain calm, know where to go, and how to help others during an emergency. This is an ongoing process throughout the year. September is the month that reminds all of us to begin to practice at school and even at home. Practice makes us prepared!

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.

Parents,

Please ensure your child has appropriate gear for outside as the weather changes. We live in Alaska and students are outside in drizzle rain and temperatures above -10 degrees fahrenheit.

• Milk Program- The milk program (optional) at lunch will begin today! If you have signed up, please make sure your student(s) know what days they are signed up for, as well as any limits on items you have chosen for them. If you are interested in signing up for the milk program, go here to sign up/pay: https://milk-juice-yogurt-program.cheddarup.com

• Popcorn - Popcorn Fridays (every other Friday) will be starting soon! If you want to make sure your student is on the list, go here to sign up/pay: https://popcorn-82943.cheddarup.com

• Fleece Order: For those who have placed an order, fleeces will be in between early to mid-October. We place a bulk order so they embroider and ship all of them at once.

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.
