Middle Academy Events
The Scholastic Book Fair is back on campus from Friday, April 21st through Friday, April 28th in Building 4 Media Center. Mrs. Barnhill has reserved before school for Middle School students, but you MUST get permission from your teacher prior to coming. You may also come during your lunchtime. To help manage the number of students, please only come if you are purchasing from the book fair. There will be a family event on Monday, April 24th from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
In the past, the school has not had to charge tax for purchases. This year Scholastic Book Fairs is requiring East Wake Academy to charge tax. The tax rate for Wake County is 7.25%. If paying in cash, please try to have the exact amount of the total cost. If you do not have the exact amount the total will be rounded to the nearest dollar amount. The change will be a donation to buy books for the media center. (Example: If the total is $5.35 it will be rounded to $6.00, and $0.65 will be donated to the media center). It is strongly encouraged to use the eWallet option for students.
There is also an online fair that runs until April 30th. Our Book Fair offers a cash-free payment option called eWallet. It’s a convenient digital account that your child can use for shopping at our Fair. Grandparents, friends, and others can contribute, too! Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping.

Parents, We are having growing concerns and issues with parents arriving before their scheduled time to pick up students in carpool line. If you are a middle school parent and you arrive before 3:15, you will be asked to go back around until middle school students are released. No middle school parent should be in the line to give their number to a staff member before 3:15. Middle school does not dismiss until that time. Many parents are texting their child to come out to carpool. This is not acceptable. Students are to watch for their number in their classrooms and be dismissed by the teacher to head to the carpool line. Should your child be at the carpool area without permission from the teacher, they will receive disciplinary action. We ask that both you and your child adhere to the rules, policies and expectations for the safety and flow of carpool for all.
Please read below for carpool procedures as written in our handbook.
Afternoon Carpool procedures: If you have Elementary and Middle School Students that are carpooling together you will receive an ORANGE TAG. Your students are picked up in elementary/middle school carpool. Please do not arrive on campus until 3:20. If you have a Middle School Student and a High School Student, you will receive YELLOW TAG High School Student Drivers are automatically released at 3:15. If you have gone through the carpool line and your student does not come out, you must go through the carpool line again OR park and take your carpool tag into the dining hall to have your student called.
Middle School Carpool ENDS when the steady flow of carpool traffic has stopped. Remaining students will walk with a staff member to Wings in Bldg. 5. It is important that drivers arrive on campus at the designated times. Students that remain on campus after carpool ends (later than 3:30 p.m.) will be sent to EWA’s after school care program (WINGS) and the parents/guardians will be charged a nominal drop-off fee.
