Parent Newsletter: Week of October 21-25, 2024
Hello EACS Parents,
I hope all is well! We have completed our very first quarter of the 2024-25 SY! Thank you for helping to support our wonderful school, students, and staff as we continue to slide the chains closer to the end zone (😄 a little football humor)!
I know there have been a few challenges along the way! I also know that talking to each other and working through them together has made us grow and form a stronger relationship for our students and community. Let's continue to work together to keep our school a top notch learning educational facility in the Anchorage School District!
Here's to an exciting and outstanding second quarter!
Your Principal,
Dr. Lynn Mills
The first Student Council Spirit Day will be "Dream Career" Day. This will take place on Thursday, October 24th. Students can dress as their future career aspirations. As always, remember, attire must be appropriate for school with no hair color. Please direct questions to Mrs. Timberlake: timberlake_melissa@asdk12.org
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.

Hello EACS Families,
I am so excited that you are going to be able to view your child(ren)'s academic progress in the very near future. I want you to know that teachers are not expected to print the report cards because the information is in Parent Connect. If you get a report card from your teacher, please thank them.
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.
'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!
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.
