The Eagle Express
Parent Newsletter: Week of August 12-15
Dear Families,
It is with great expectancy that I welcome this 2024-2025 School Year in alluding to high expectations, high academic rigor, and high collaboration to ensure another successful year for our students, staff and families. I hope that you have enjoyed your summers and are ready to jump into this academic year.
I am expecting great things from our students and staff. As Eagles, we soar high and pay attention to details. Those details, small or great, will be pertinent to the advancement of our school and the education of our students.
I am looking forward to working with each and everyone of you as we learn, plan, and work together. I hope you have a great first week of school here at Eagle Academy Charter School.
Your Principal,
Dr. Lynn Mills

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.
